northern part of the country, are mostly residing in the mountain

ranges of the Cordillera Region. They are popularly known for
being rice cultivators. An assortment of the group called
the Ifugaos built the Banaue Rice Terraces – frequently called the
‘eighth wonder of the world’. The ancestors of this indigenous
tribe carved a system of irrigated rice terraces in the mountains
ofIfugao more than 2,000 years ago.

Badjaos
Originally from the islands of Sulu in Mindanao, they’re
known as the sea tribes living on houseboats. They try to
make ends meet by depending on the sea as divers,
fishermen, and navigators. Because of conflicts in the region,
the majority of them have migrated to neighboring countries
such as Malaysia and Indonesia, whereas those who stayed
in the Philippines moved to some areas in Luzon.
TheMangyans of Mindoro are well-known clans in the
Philippines because they have the biggest populace.
Comprising eight different Mangyan groups, they have a
peaceful reputation, unlike the headhunting tribes of the North
and warrior tribes from the South. While some has already
converted into Christianity, there are still a large percentage of
those who practice animistic religious beliefs.
TheAetas (or Agta or Ayta) are one of the earliest known

inhabitnatsof the Philippines who are now living in scattered
mountainous areas of the country. They were called by the
Spanish colonizers as the ‘Negritos’because of their dark to
dark-brown skin. They are nomadic but are very skilled in
weaving and plaiting, and Aeta women are considered experts in
herbal medicine
