CORDILLERA PEOPLES
This is the indigenous
population of the Cordillera
mountain range, which covers
six provinces in the middle of
Northern Luzon – Abra, Apayao,
Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga, and
Mountain Province.
They are collectively called
Igorots, meaning “mountain
people” although some
groups like the Kalingas and
Ifugaos refuse to be called
Igorots except by their own
tribes.
There are eight ethno-
linguistic groups in the
Cordillera, namely:
1. Bontoc 5. Kalinga
2. Ibaloi 6. Kankanaey
3. Ifugao 7. Tinnguian
4. Isneg 8. Yapayao

These:
1. Ibanag
2. Ilongot
3. Gaddang
4. Ikalahan and
5. Isinai – who together with the Agta
peoples inhabit the Caraballo mountain
range in Eastern Central Luzon. This range
connects the provinces of Nueva Vizcaya,
Quirino and Nueva Ecija. The Caraballo
tribes number roughly 500,000.
Agta and aeta/negrito
These short, dark-skinned
and kinky-haired peoples
are considered the
earliest inhabitants of the
Philippines.
Aside from having been perpetually
pushed into the hinterlands of
Central Luzon, mainly in the
provinces of Zambales, Bataan and
Pampanga, and in other parts of the
country, they also suffer from racial
discrimination.
With a population of
about 160,000, they are
the most widely
distributed among
indigenous peoples
Mangyan of Mindoro This
is a generic name for the
six ethno-linguistic
groups spread over the
mountains and foothills of
Mindoro, an island south-
west of Luzon, namely,
1. Batangan
2. Iraya
3. Hanunoo
4. Alangan
5. Ratagnon
6. Buhid, and
7. Tadyawan.
They are described as the first
inhabitants of the island, and
until today, they are one of the
few groups that still practice a
pre-Spanish form of writing.
Their present population is
about 150,000.
Palawan hill tribes These are the
non-Muslim tribal people of
Palawan island located further west
of Mindoro. This group is composed
of five ethnic groups – Tagbanua,
Batak, Kalamianes, Cuyonin, and
Ken-uy, and they number at least
120,000.
