Culturally, the upland municipalities are mostly populated by the Maranaws who espouse the Muslim culture and Islam religion while the coastal municipalities are generally inhabited by the Christians who practice the Christian culture and religion. The Maranaw culture, which must be preserved, is still practiced in the Municipalities of Balo-i, Pantar and Pantao Ragat the three known cultural centers of the Province.
