Page "Kulintang" Paragraph 53

It was these similarities that lead theorists to conclude that the kulintang was originally imported to the Philippines during the migration of the kolenang through the Malay Archipelago.

Based on the etymology, two routes have been proposed as the route for the kulintang to Mindanao: One from Sunda, through Banjermasin, Brunei and the Sulu Archipelago, a route where the word “ kulintangan ” is commonly used for the horizontal row of gongs ; The other from Sunda, thru, Timor, Sulawesi, Moluccas and Mindanao where the word kolintang / kulintang is commonly seen.
