On 12 June 2023, Chargé d’Affaires Rommel Romato unveiled the painting of Lake Lanao entitled “Ranao,” which the Philippine Embassy In Riyadh commissioned as a tribute to the contributions of the “people of the lake” or the Maranaos and the Bangsamoro people to the Filipino struggle for freedom and nationhood. The artwork was rendered by Hagod Filipino and is now displayed at the Philippine embassy’s chancery. Lake Lanao is the second largest lake in the Philippines and is considered one of the 15 ancient lakes of the world generating 70% of the electricity used by the people of Mindanao. Many of the Filipino ambassadors who served in Saudi Arabia hailed from Mindanao. |
