Abstract: Abstract: This qualitative study analyzes the Maranao folktale “Pilandok Becomes Sultan” to explore how intelligence, wit, and cunning function as cultural symbols in Maranao society. Using content analysis, the research investigates the portrayal of the main character’s intellect in confronting adversity, the literary elements that mirror Maranao concepts of leadership and justice, and the story’s implications in shaping readers’ social values. Findings reveal that Pilandok embodies the trickster archetype, using intellect and strategy as tools to challenge authority and restore social balance. The narrative illustrates that, within Maranao culture, true leadership is not rooted in birthright or power but in wisdom and adaptability. Furthermore, the story promotes values such as intelligence, resilience, and awareness of social realities—making it an effective pedagogical material for promoting cultural literacy. Overall, this study affirms that “Pilandok Becomes Sultan” is more than a tale of deception; it is a reflection of Maranao identity and an enduring testament to the intellectual and moral depth of Philippine folk literature.
