    The document discusses the Mangyan people, an indigenous ethnic group living in parts of the Philippines. There are 8 different Mangyan tribes, each with their own unique languages and physical characteristics. While they farm using similar agricultural methods, the tribes differ in date of arrival in the Philippines, with some evidence that Southern tribes arrived earlier around 900 AD. The tribes are organized into formal groups with community elders and shamans serving as leaders. Access to Mangyan communities requires permission from tribal leaders and councils.

    Mangyan

    The word “ Mangyan” generally means man, woman,


    or person without any reference to nationality.
    Mangyan refers to the
    Philippines ethnic group
    living in Mindoro Island but
    some can be found in the
    islands of Tablas and
    Sibuyan in the province of
    Romblon as well as in
    Albay, Negros, Palawan.
    There are 8 different Mangyan indegenous
    groups.
    ❖ Iraya
    ❖ Alangan
    ❖ Tadyawan
    ❖ Tau- Buid
    ❖ Bangon
    ❖ Buhid
    ❖ Hanunoo
    ❖ Ratagnon
    Each tribes has their
    own/unique differences
    including language.
    One of the language
    is known as Hanunoo-
    Mangyan,
    Ambahan
    They only share 40%
    of their vocabulary
    words on their mutual
    languages
    There are two
    geographical divisions:

    ❖ Northern Tribe
    ❖ Southern Tribe
    Southern Tribes
    Northern Tribes
    Tribes have also varied physical and
    ethnogenetic appearance.
    They also differ in the date of their arrival in
    the Philippines
    ❖ Theory suggests that Southern tribes were
    already present by 900 AD
    ❖ Northern Tribes are believed to have
    arrived hundred of years ahead of their
    Southern peers.
    Historians suggest
    that Mangyans may
    have been the First
    Filipino to trade with
    the Chinese.

    Examples of these
    are seen in burial
    cave as porcelains
    and other potteries
    abound.
    What they do
    have in
    common is
    their way of
    life, which
    depends on
    agriculture.
    Kaingin or swidden
    farming
    Mangyan of Mindoro
    is unique in terms of
    how well organized their
    groups are.
    Each group has formal bylaws with penalties
    for different crimes that are committed.
    Leadership most often
    resides in the
    community elders
    (kuyay or gurangan)
    who are knowledgeable
    in customary laws
    (talaghusay, tahinan or
    tanungan), the shaman
    (balyanan or fanlahi)
    and the ritual performer
    who leads the
    celebration of an
    agricultural rite.
    To enter the different communities of Mangyan,
    there is a need of clearance from the tribal
    leaders, the tribal councils and the National
    Commission on Indigenous Peoples with formal
    letters and documentation about the project.
    Traditionally, the Mangyan are animists and
    are known to be superstitious.
    “kulo-kulo” (Mindoro
    Bleeding Heart)
    we should be able to study, learn and know other people’s culture in order
    to formulate an effective change intervention or programs that would best
    benefit them. Knowing their characteristics, their way of life, the specifics
    of their group would help us in our decisions and our actions.
