    KALIBUGAN

    Kalibuga" (Kolibugan) means


    "mixed breed" and refers to the
    Subanun of the Philippines who have
    intermarried with the Tausug and
    Samal. Kalibugan, who number
    about 15,000, live in villages on the
    coast in western Mindanao. Most
    have converted to Islam. Their
    culture shares elements with those of
    Subanun, Tausug, and Samal.
    The Kolibugan Subanen inhabit the Zamboanga
    Peninsula, southern Zamboanga del Norte, and some
    parts of Zamboanga del Sur. Their language is similar to
    that of the Western Subanen but with some grammatical
    differences.
    Subanen (also, Subanon and Subanun).
    The family is patriarchal while the village
    is led by a chief called Timuay. He acts as
    the village judge and is concerned with all
    communal matters.
    Death
    The Subanuns or Kalibugans believe that all humans have
    souls. The dead are usually buried within the same day, before
    sundown. They believe that souls roam the earth unless
    certain rituals are made to make it go to heaven or to appease
    some spirit in the other world. The ritual is usually a feast
    (polohog for the less well-off, and buklog for the more affluent.
    The burial party however must bathe before the feast begins.
    Marriage is similar to that of other tribes: dowry,
    use of a go-between, feasting called Buklog and
    the rice rituals. The officiating person is the
    Misala-getaw who is a respected male leader in
    the area. The most important part is the
    witnessing of the rice ritual by the groom and
    bride. Divorce is permitted and decided by the
    village chiefs. In such cases, the dowry must be
    returned if the bride is at fault.
    In late pregnancy, a special hut called "ghosina" is
    erected for the expectant mother. After delivery, the
    mother lies close to a hot fire for several days in the
    belief that this will dry up the womb.

    The Subanuns and Kolibugans practice swidden


    agriculture (slash and burn) on the mountain slopes,
    cultivating upland rice, corn, root crops, and the like.
    They have a subsistence economy and are in need of
    technical skills, capital and market access.

    The Subanun villages are ruled by village chiefs who


    dispense justice, divorce, and settle issues and
    disputes.
    GHOSINA
    Family properties which are covered by inheritance
    consist mainly of acquired Chinese jars, gongs, jewelry,
    and, in later times, currency. The ownership of cultivated
    land, the swidden field, is deemed temporary, because
    the Subanen family moves from place to place, and
    necessitated by the practice of shifting agriculture.
    Performing Arts

    Palad Festival in 2014.
    Subanen musical instruments include the gagong, a single brass
    gong; the kolintang, a set of eight small brass gongs of graduated
    sizes; and the durugan, a hollowed log which is beaten like a drum;
    and the drums.

    Vocal music includes the chants for the epic, and several types of
    songs, which include the dionli (a love song), buwa (lullaby), and
    giloy (a funeral song for a dead chieftain).
