With a bit of sweat and coupled with hardwork, the potters of Tantangan make money literally from earth. Using clay they transform it into something wonderful and useful.

These earthenwares are made available along the highway going to Tacurong from Marbel. Earthenware such as pots, jars, bricks and even garden gnomes line up in the roads of Tantangan. This is the prime producer and supplier of almost every potteries in the province of South Cotabato.


The potters still use the traditional technique of pottery making. From the collection of clay to the forming of pots and to the cooking of it inside the furnace the potters of Tantangan are truly a heritage treasure.

The pots and other earthenware sold in Tantangan is a lot more lower in prize compared to those sold in the city stores. You can buy by dozen or half. Depending on the size and design prizes may vary.

How To Get There: One can reach Tantangan via Marbel. There is a Jeepney terminal which fares Php 20-30 each passenger.
