Study Notes
Ethno-Linguistic Distribution of IPs in the Philippines
- Indigenous Peoples (IPs) are spread across the Philippines, categorized by geography and culture.
- Over 110 recognized Indigenous groups exist in the Philippines.
- Groups are broadly classified as Highlanders, Sea-based, and Mainstream.
Highlanders
- Also known as upland or mountain peoples.
- Live in rugged, forested mountain ranges.
- Often subsistence farmers, practicing shifting cultivation (kaingin) or rice terrace farming.
- Retained many pre-colonial traditions, often isolated from Spanish and American influences.
- Many still practice animism, with rituals centered on nature and spirits.
- Examples include the Ifugao (known for Banaue Rice Terraces), Kalinga (known for warrior traditions and tattoos), and Mangyan (known for weaving and poetry).
Sea-based Groups
- Primarily inhabit coastal areas, islands, and seas.
- Reliant on fishing, sea trade, and boat-making for survival.
- Some groups (like Bajau) are traditionally nomadic sea dwellers, while others are settled in coastal communities.
- Strong maritime skills make them essential participants in local and regional trade networks.
- Examples include the Bajau (often called "Sea Gypsies"), Molbog (inhabitants of Balabac Island), and Sama-Banguingui (from the Sulu Archipelago, known for boat-building).
Mainstream Groups
- Historically integrated into lowland Christianized Filipino society.
- Found in plains, river valleys, and agricultural lands.
- Often engage in wet-rice farming and trade.
