Sarimanok

A Sarimanok is a magical, mythical bird who brings good luck to anyone who are able to catch it. A Sarimanok known as Magaul is associated with the legend of Malakas and Maganda. Magaul was the Sarimanok bird that pecked the bamboo from where

Malakas and Maganda were born.

It comes from the words "sari" and "manok." "Sari" means cloth or garment, which is generally of assorted colors. Manòk, which

makes up part of its name, is a Philippine word for chicken.
