The Tigwahanon are a subgroup of the Manobo people originally from the Tigwa River basin in Bukidnon, Philippines. Numbering around 10,000, they inhabit the border of Bukidnon and Davao del Norte, specifically in San Fernando. They practice swidden agriculture but have little control over their lands as they have been dispossessed by loggers and plantations. Unlike dominant Muslim tribes in the region, the Tigwahanon have failed to consolidate politically and are vulnerable to exploitation. The document provides prayer points for the Tigwahanon, including for more pastors to be raised up from among them and for success in holding onto their ancestral lands.

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.
