The Sarimanok is a legendary bird from Philippine mythology, particularly that of the Maranao people. It is generally depicted as a fowl with colourful wings and long, feathered tail. Its design usually incorporates spirals and leaf patterns, and it is often shown holding a fish in its beak or talons.
The Sarimanok is so large its crest is said to touch the second heaven. Its crow can rouse all living creatures save for humans, and if it were to ever fall silent, the end of days would soon follow. It is an imporant figure to the Maranao people, appearing as a symbol for everything from universities to television stations.
