TIGWAHANON:

Philippine Indigenous
Communities

BY: RINA
TIGWAHANON

The Tigwahanon are a subgroup of Manobo


originally from the Tigwa River basin near
San Fernando, Bukidnon.
The Manobo are a big group of ethnic
Mindanao people divided into several
subtribes. Anthropologists have given varied
groupings, including the Tigwahanon.
TIGWAHANON
The Tigwahanon Manobo of Philippines, numbering
10,000, are No Longer Unreached. They are part of the
Filipino, Tribal people cluster within the Malay Peoples
affinity bloc. This people group is only found in Philippines.
Their primary language is Matigsalug Manobo. The primary
religion practiced by the Tigwahanon Manobo is
ethnoreligion. Ethnoreligion is deeply rooted
in a people's ethnic identity and conversion
essentially equates to cultural assimilation.
TIGWAHANON
The Tigwahanon inhabit the Bukidnon and Davao del Norte
border, specifically in the municipality of San Fernando
Watersheds in Agusan del Norte, Bukidnon, Agusan Sur and
Misamis Occidental. The areas where the tribes live are
generally underdeveloped with poor infrastructure.
Dispossessed of their tribal lands, they have
little control over their lands. They practice
swidden agriculture and live off the forest.
They are driven off the land by loggers and
corporate plantations.
TIGWAHANON
Unlike the dominant Muslim tribes, they have failed
to consolidate themselves and thus have no
significant voice in politics. Because of their
unattended grievances, they are prey to the
communist rebels and other dissident movements
who wish to use them against the government.
