Since the majority of the people in Tawi-Tawi are muslims, fiestas are not celebrated in the barangays. The muslims celebrate the Festival of Sacrifice ([[Hari Raya]]), Muslims worldwide sacrifice sheep, goats, cows or camels for the sake of religion and community. It is done in remembrance of the sacrifice undertaken by Prophet Ibrahim, who was ready to sacrifice his son Ismail, but a ram appeared in his place at the last moment. | Since the majority of the people in Tawi-Tawi are muslims, fiestas are not celebrated in the barangays.
