Kutang Bato, Philippines 2008 C.E.
History
“The Land of Cotabato” in this blog refers to the vast area covering five provinces (South Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Cotabato, Maguindanao and Sarangani) and two independent cities (General Santos and Cotabato).
The name "Cotabato" is derived from either the Maguindanao kuta wato or Malay kota batu, meaning "stone fort", as the territory, defended by Moro warriors, was never conquered by the colonizing Spaniards.
The former province of Cotabato was once the largest in the Philippines. In 1966, South Cotabato was branched off as a separate province.
In 1973, a Presidential Decree divided the remaining province into Sultan Kudarat, North Cotabato and Maguindanao. North Cotabato was renamed Cotabato in 1983.
In 1992, a portion of South Cotabato was created as Sarangani Province.
In 2006, an area in Maguindanao became Shariff Kabunsuan. The province is the youngest in the country and the first to be created not by the Philippine Congress but by the legislative body of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
The Rolly’s frequent location is Koronadal City, the capital of South Cotabato. His hometown is Isulan (near Tacurong City), the capital of Sultan Kudarat. He still has to set foot on the soil of Kidapawan, the component city and capital of Cotabato Province.
