Discovering City of Koronadal (and/or Marbel to many) is a very simple thing. Here, vivid tapestry of history is still alive, dating from the occupation of Islamic traders and indigenous peoples up to the settlement of Ilonggo, Ilocano and Tagalog people. Yet modern as it is today, old legends still continue to influence and inspire the existence of this young city. The mutual respect for their respective cultural beliefs has woven the essence of a tri-people (Christian, Muslim & Lumad) cohabiting the area giving way to a rich cultural exchanges peculiar to the City of Koronadal. In fact, it is this diversity of culture in the city that spawns a colorful extravaganza of cultural dances and other art forms.

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“Popular culture is seductive; high culture is imperious.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“I’ve finally figured out why soap operas are, and logically should be, so popular with generations of housebound women. They are the only place in our culture where grown-up men take seriously all the things that grown-up women have to deal with all day long.”
—Gloria Steinem (b. 1934)
“Both cultures encourage innovation and experimentation, but are likely to reject the innovator if his innovation is not accepted by audiences. High culture experiments that are rejected by audiences in the creator’s lifetime may, however, become classics in another era, whereas popular culture experiments are forgotten if not immediately successful. Even so, in both cultures innovation is rare, although in high culture it is celebrated and in popular culture it is taken for granted.”
—Herbert J. Gans (b. 1927)
