Ganassi is a fourth class municipality in the province of Lanao del Sur, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 23,016 people.[2] The municipality used to host the 'finest example of a traditional torogan' according to Dr. Jesus T. Peralta of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts.

Torogan Finesse

The town once hosted what used to be the finest example of a torogan, a huge traditional Maranao house which was the seat of power of the Maranao royalties and Maranao high officials. Unfortunately, for an undisclosed reason, the torogan was demolished by some locals. A group once campaigned for the passage of an ordinance where the architecture of all houses and buildings in Ganassi will follow the okir and the torogan style. Through it, the town would have been the first planned city whose architectural grandeur is inspired by a traditional Maranao vernacular way of building. However, due to lack of funding available, the campaign went into deaf ears.
