Kawayan Torogan

The recently updated 2018 PRECUP currently states that the Kawayan Torogan is in Pompongan-a-marantao, a barangay (village) of Marawi City, not of Marantao town.

A torogan, which literally translates as "a place for sleeping”,[2] is the stately house of elite members of the Maranao tribe in the province of Lanao del Sur in the island of Mindanao, Philippines.

[3] This style of great-house has a single large hall with no permanent partitions and is divided only into sleeping areas under a widely flaring, ridged roof.

[1][4] Its dominant feature is the unique floor end beams, known as panolongs, which have butterfly-shaped projections and are carved alternately with the traditional Maranao symbols of niaga or naga (serpent or dragon) and pako rabong armalis (asymmetrical growing fern).

[1] It is built above the ground using massive tree trunks on rounded boulders as a measure against earthquake, wood rot and infestation of termites.
