Padang Karbala

The place

Memory in Bayang, Lanao del Sur

The field in Bayang where the Sultan of Bayang and his followers made their last stand against American forces in May 1902.

• Memory

  Traced to its sources since the guide was written.

• Safety in Lanao del Sur

  The security picture here is more variable than in Cotabato City or Tawi-Tawi, and it moves. Marawi itself is visited, but travel is best arranged through local contacts, the city tourism office, or MSU, and some outlying municipalities are best left off an itinerary without current local advice. This is the area where asking on the ground matters most, and where a plan made from a distance is least reliable.
