Architecture is important in our daily lives. The design of buildings either churches,
banks, houses and other gives its identity and inspires every viewer. In Mindanao we
learned the different countries who influenced its design in pre-Hispanic period even to the
modern period okir design is still present. It conveys the values and traditions of Filipino
Muslim.

FYI… Did you know that…green, to the Muslims, is a sacred color? As a proof of this, they
carry a green flag and wear green turbans after they have made a pilgrimage to the Holy
City of Mecca. They also design their prayer rugs with a green background. Indeed, the color
green has a special place in Islam. It is a decoration of mosques, the binding of Qurans, the
silken covers for the graves of Sufi saints, and the flag of various Muslim countries
