One legend tells of the daughter
of the sultan of Lanao, named
 by her father
Sari. Sari was loved
and people because of her beauty
and kindness. On her eighteenth
birthday, a feast was set to
celebrate the occasion. A
cock/chicken (manok) with
bright, glowing feathers flew into
the middle of the feast, shocking
all the people there.
To everyone’s amazement,
the cock transformed
 into a
handsome prince. The
prince stated that he has
been watching over and
protecting Sari since she
was born, and that it was
time that he took her to be
with him.
With this he transformed back
into a cock and took Sari, flying

away into the sun. Both he and the
princess were never seen again.
The loss of his daughter brought
grief to the sultan and he had the
best craftsman in his lands to carve
an image of the magical cock that
took her daughter.
Another version is about the
romantic relationship between

Raja Indarapatra and the
Maranao moon goddess, who
comes down to earth every
Friday. Raja Indarapatra
eventually joined the goddess
to her realm forever by riding
the sarimanok.
