Introduction
Maranao is the term used for the people of Lanao, a predominantly Muslim region in the Philippines island of Mindanao.

The word Maranao, also spelled Maranaw, means "People of the Lake," referring to the indigenous people who inhabited the lands around Lake Lanao whose principal city is Marawi. The Maranaos are part of the thirteen Moro ethnic groups, who constitute the sixth largest Filipino ethnic group.
The Maranao, were the first inhabitants of the shores of Lake Lanao and they still inhabit this region. Almost all Maranaos are Muslims, but a few groups residing in the hills around Lake Lanao are commited to a version of Islam that is fused with traces of pre-Islamic traditions. The expansion of Islam in Mindanao created a differentiation between the native peoples, those who became Muslim were named "Moros" by the Spaniards and those who did not are called today "Lumads".
Together with the Illanun and Maguindanao, the Maranao are one of three indigenous Muslim groups native to the island of Mindanao in the southwestern part of the Philippines; this tribal group shares in a generalized Southeast Asian culture but has its own cultural identity.
The Maranao, is adapting to modern society without completely losing their ethnic identity and like any other indigenous group they try to face up or confront the modernizing influences of the present.
