[From the office of the Secretary of the Interior, Manila, P. I.) INTRODUCTION. In this article the words "Northern Luzon" are used to designate that portion of the island lying north of a line drawn due east from the city of Manila to the Pacific coast. Great confusion exists as to the classification and geographical dis- tribution of the non-Christian tribes inhabiting this area. It would be impracticable, within the limits of a brief article, to discuss all of the different classifications which have heretofore been proposed and I shall confine myself to three of the latest and most authoritative. In 1883 Prof. Ferdinand Blumentritt published his "Versuch einer Ethnographic der Philippinen," in which he recognizes one race and tribe, the Negritos, and a second race, the Malays, which he subdivides into twenty-three tribes. His classification by tribes stands as follows 1. The Negkitos. Habitat : Principe, Isabela, Cagayan, North and South Ilokoa, Abra, Pan- gasinan, Zambales, and Bataan. 2. Igoeeotes. Habitat: Benguet, Lepanto, including the district of Tiagan and Bontoc. 3. BusAos. Habitat: The northern patt of Tilas Cordillera, Tiagan, the northern half of Lepanto and Bontoc on the northern waters of the Kio Cagayan. 4. Altasanes and Ilimutes. Habitat : Nueva Vizeaya. 46941 791 ' 792 5. BUJUANOS. Eabiiut: Isabela. 6. Panuipuyes. Habitat: Nueva Vizcaya and Isabela. "Perchance only a branch of the Mayoyaos." 7. ISINATS. Eaiitat: The middle course of the Agno River. 8. Ibilaos. Habitat: The region extending from the border line between Nueva Vizcaya and Nueva Ecija to the vicinity of Baliran. 9. Ilongotes. Habitat: Nueva Vizcaya, Isabela, Principe and northern Nueva Ecija. 10. Mayotaos; also called Quianganes, Pungianes, and Silipanes. Habitat : Southern and eastern Bontoc and northern Nueva Vizcaya. 11. Ifugaos. Habitat : Left bank of the Magat River to the south and southwest from Fural between Mayoyao and Camarga in Nueva Vizcaya. 12. Gaddanes. (A considerable number of this tribe christianized.) Habitat: The region between the Magat River and the Rio Chico. 13. Itetapanes. Habitat: The territory to the east of the Busaos and the west of the Gaddanes. 14. GUYMANES (QuYMANES, QUIAMANES). Habitat : Territory north of the Busao Igorots, especially the eastern slopes of the Cordillera which separates the Province of Abra from Cagayan; the right bank of the Abra River to the left of the Pusulgan River marks the western limits reached by them. 15. Calaus or Itavbs. Habitat : Western Cagayan from Piat and Tuao on the south to Malaueg on the north. 16. Gamunanges and Bayabonanes. Habitat: Mountains east and north of Tuao, Province of Cagayan; may be a branch of the Dadayags. 17. Dadayags. Habitat: Left bank of the middle portion of the Rio Grande, Province of Cagayan, extending into the heights near Cabagan. 18. Nabayuganes. Habitat: Region to the west of Malaueg on one of the northern. affluents of the Rio Chico, Province of Cagayan. 19. Abipas. Habitat: Region between the Nagsiping and Tubang to the south of the union of the Rio Grande and Rio Chico, Province of Cagayan; also the southern part of the mountain range which forms the watershed between the Rio Grande de Cagayan and the Rio Apayao. 20. Caljnqas. Habitat: Tlio mountuins where the Aripas dwell and farther north. ' Blumentritt: cincr Vvmuvh Ethiwgraphic dcr Philippincii (1882), 32. : : 793 21. TiKGUiANES (Itanegas, TinGgtanes, Tinques). Habitat: From Ciiiidon in llokos Sur to Mount Pacsan on the bolder line between Cagayan and llolios Sur; also extending sovitli to the neighborhood of Santa Cruz and Namacpacan, so that they inhabit the Provinces of llokos Sur, Abra, and llokos Norte. 22. Apayaos. Habitat: ^'alley of the Apayao River and northern portion of eastern slope of the movintain chain which separates the Province of Cagayan from llokos Norte, extending south to Malaueg. 23. Catalanganes. Habitat: Catalaligan River, one of the right branches of the Rio Grande, in the Province of Isabela. 24. Ibayas. Habitat : The region to the south of the Gatalanganes, chiefly on the west side of the Cordillera of Palanan. In 1890 Professor Bliifnentritt published his "Alphabetisches Ver- zeichniss der eingeborenen Stamme der Philippinen imd der vor ihnen gesprochenen Spraehen." This list differs from that published in 1883 in the following particulars The AUasanes and slliinut are given as separate tribes, as are the Baydbonanes and the Silipanes, while the following tribes not mentioned in his first list are added Abunlon. Habitat: Mountains of Zambales. BUNGANANES. Habitat: Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya. Ifumangies. Habitat: Nueva Vizcaya. Ilamut. Habitat: Vicinity of Quiangan, Nueva Vizcaya. Ileabanes. Habitat: Nueva Vizcaya. Italones. Habitat: Mountains of Nueva Vizcayjt. JUMANGIS. Habitat: Central (?) Luzon. PUNGIANES. Habitat: Not given. The total number of tribes recognized by Professor Blumentritt is thus raised to thirty-six. In 1899 a number of priests of the Jesuit mission of Manila col- laborated to produce, for the use of the first Philippine Commission, a very full account of the Philippine Islands, their resources, and their people.- = Published in Report of the Philippine Commission (1900), 3, 333-412. 794 They recognized three races^ the Negrito, the Indonesian, and the Malay, of which only the Negrito and the Malay were believed by them to be represented in northern Luzon. The Malay race they divided into three subraces—the Malay-Negritos, the Malay-Chinese, and the Malay- Mohammedans. In order to facilitate comparison, I give these two lists in tabulated form: Name oi tribe. 795 Name of tribe. : : 796 as a body politic is unknown in this Archipelago. The Malayan has never by his own effort achieved so important a political organization. Such great and effective confederacies, as we find among the North American Indians are far beyond the capacity of the Filipino of any grade. For example, among the powerful and numerous Igorot of northern Luzon the sole political body is in the independent community. * * * Errors in nomenclature prevail everywhere in the Islands. Sometimes three or four different terms have been applied by different localities or towns to identical peoples, and all these designations have gone to swell the reputed number of Philippine tribes. Thus Blumentritt credits fully eighty-two such distinct tribes; the Jesuits, who have been diligent collectors of information here, as everywhere, report sixty-seven tribes, and the enumerators for the census turned in on their schedules a total of about one hundred and sixteen different or differing titles, which had to be explained and reduced to system. Dr. Barrows, in his history, adopts the following classifications for the tribes of northern Luzon NEGRITO RACE. Tribe, Negritos. (Synonyms: Ita, Eta, Agta, Baluoa, Dumagat, Abtjnlon. ) Babitat: Cagayan, Isabela, Ilokos Norte, Abra, Nueva Vizcaya, Tayabas (Principe and Infanta), Nueva Ecija, Bulacan, Rizal, Pangasinan, Tarlac, Zanibales, Pampanga, and Bataan. MALAY RACE. Tribe, Iqokot. Habitat: The Cordillera Central from the extreme north of Luzon to the plains of Pangasinan and Nueva Ecija. Under Igorot, he employs various dialect group designations such as the Qaddang, Dadayag, and Mayoyao, said to be divided solely by slight differences of dialect. He states that the exact number of these groups has not thoroughly been worked out, but that he has personally studied and collected vocabularies of twelve and believes that this number includes all except minor variations and one branch in the extreme north of the Cordillera, called Apayaos. This last people, he says, is on both slopes of the Cordillera, but far more numerous on the Cagayan side. Eeferring further to these dialect groups of people, he mentions the following Dadayaq. Habitat: The head waters of the Rio Chieo de Cagayan in Itaves district, Cagayan Province, where they occupy the low foothills of the Cordillera Central. Gaddang. Habitat: The region farther south, along the same foothills as the Da- dayag, extending through Isabela.. Kalinqa. Habitat: The region east of the Dadayag and Gaddang. Banaos. Habitat: The region midway between Balbalasan and Labuangan as well as the Saltan River valley, all in the Province of Bontoc. They are regarded by Dr. Barrows as the prototype of the present more civilized Tingian : 797 Bunnayan.

  • 4. Resources, Security and Livelihood
    Violent Conflicts and Displacement in Central Mindanao 4. RESOURCES, SECURITY AND LIVELIHOOD This section examines households’ perceptions of their surrounding environment (e.g. security). It looks at their resources or capital (social, natural, economic) available to households, as well as how those resources were being used to shape livelihood strategies and livelihood outcomes such as food security. The results give insights into the complex interaction between, on the one hand, displacement and settlement options, and, on the other hand, access to basic needs, services and livelihood strategies. Services and Social Relations Access to Services Across the study strata, about one-third of the households ranked their access to services negatively, including access to education (22%), access to (35%) and quality of (32%) health care, and access to roads (37%). Respondents in Maguindanao ranked on average all services more negatively than any other strata. Disaggregated by settlement status, respondents who were displaced at the time of the survey were more likely to rank services negatively compared to others, with the exception of access to roads. Nearly the same percentage of households who were displaced at the time of survey and those returned home found the road to be bad of very bad (47% and 55%, respectively). Figure 11: Ranking of services (% bad - very bad) Two-thirds (67%) of the sampled households had children aged 6-12 years, and among them nearly all had children enrolled in primary school (97%). However, 36 percent of the households reported that their school-enrolled children missed school for at least a week within the 6 months prior to the survey.

    ANTHROPOLOGICAL PAPERS OF THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY VOLUME XXIII NEW YORK PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES 1925 Editor CLARK WISSLER FOREWORD Louis ROBERT SULLIVAN Since this volume is largely the work of the late Louis Robert Sulli- van, a biographical sketch of this able anthropologist, will seem a fitting foreword. Louis Robert Sullivan was born at Houlton, Maine, May 21, 1892. He was educated in the public schools of Houlton and was graduated from Bates College, Lewiston, Maine, in 1914. During the following academic year he taught in a high school and on November 24, 1915, he married Bessie Pearl Pathers of Lewiston, Maine. He entered Brown University as a graduate student and was assistant in zoology under Professor H. E. Walters, and in 1916 received the degree of master of arts. From Brown University Mr. Sullivan came to the American Mu- seum of Natural History, as assistant in physical anthropology, and during the first years of his connection with the Museum he laid the foundations for his future work in human biology, by training in general anatomy with Doctor William K. Gregory and Professor George S. Huntington and in general anthropology with Professor Franz Boas. From the very beginning, he showed an aptitude for research and he had not been long at the Museum ere he had published several important papers. These activities were interrupted by our entrance into the World War. Mr. Sullivan was appointed a First Lieutenant in the Section of Anthropology, Surgeon-General's Office in 1918, and while on duty at headquarters asisted in the compilation of the reports on Defects found in Drafted Men and Army Anthropology.

    Important Traits of the Basilan Chicken: an Indigenous Chicken of Mindanao, Philippines Henry Rivero1, Leo Johncel Sancebutche2, Mary Grace Tambis3, Iris Neville Bulay-Og4, Dorothy Liz June Baay5, Ian Carlmichael Perez6, Jenissi Ederango7, and Neil Mar Castro8 MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology, Philippines [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], 7 8 [email protected], [email protected] Abstract - This paper introduces the Basilan chicken, as assumed ecotype of the Asil of Pakistan and India, and widely distributed throughout Southeast Asia and in Mindanao, as an important breed for future consideration for livestock studies. The biological characteristics of the indigenous chicken have been noted and compared among four geographically distant groups within a small regional setting. A collection of representative chickens putatively of the same Basilan stocks from four provinces was established. The question whether the pure Basilan stock distributed in the entire island of Mindanao originated from the Basilan Island was answered by cluster analysis of the ten external phenotypic characters. The relatedness based on presence and absence of the tested phenotypes of the Basilan chickens from four geographically distant provinces of Surigao (in Eastern Mindanao), Agusan (in the CARAGA region), Lanao (in Northern Mindanao), and Basilan (in Western Mindanao), was examined for comparison including the hepatic, gonad, and hematologic

  • The Manolay Cult: the Genesis and Dissolution of Millenarian Sentiments Among the Isneg of Northern Luzon
    THE MANOLAY CULT: THE GENESIS AND DISSOLUTION OF MILLENARIAN SENTIMENTS AMONG THE ISNEG OF NORTHERN LUZON }OliN E. SMART FoR TWO YEARS, APPROXL\1ATELY 1937-1939, A MAJORITY OF THE FAMILIES in the isolated Isneg settlement of Kabuwan neglected their mountain rice fields. 1 During this period, community feasts, prompted by the hope that the people from Unto (a place somewhere over the sky) would attend, were held nearly every night." The conviction reigned that, should Enoy, Eyu, Patungagan and any other Untc} people choose to come, the dead ancestors would manolay (return to life) and believers would acquire gamog (the power to conceive of and simultaneously to experience the fulfilment of a material wish, in this case, an un- ending supply of food and drink) and obtain the services of Kindingan (the invincible spirit of the old people of Kabuwan). ·when possessed, Kindingan enabled a single Kabuwan man to fight and kill all the people in an enemy hamlet. Finally, after the expected rendezcous \vith the Unto people, everyone would lead an everlasting, labour-free exist- ence, devoted to continuous say am (a celebration characterized by danc- ing, drinking and the killing of, at least, one pig and one dog for food). Two years later, when the Manolay cult subsided, the Kabuwan rice granaries were empty; most of the settlement's pigs, dogs, and chickens had been butchered; a large portion of the community's ac- cumulated wealth of valuable beads, Chinese pottery, and Ilocano blankets had been exchanged for rice, and some men were forced to labour in the neighboring settlements for their family's daily ration.

Aside from being a tourism site it is the primary water source for agricultural lands along the stretch of the river. It also serves as a fishing ground to the residents because of its potential as habitat to native, endemic, migratory and indigenous fish and other aquatic organisms. Being a pathway to native, endemic and migratory species in the region, protecting the Amburayan River ecosystem and conserving its ecological integrity enhances its productivity. The assessment of fishing gears and practices used including the fish species caught by these gears is important in the management of the resources. This study on fishing gears and practices was done in three municipalities in Benguet namely; Atok, Kapangan and Kibungan. Fishing gears and practices were determined through interview with the locals in focus group discussions and direct observation during fishing. This study revealed that there are different fishing gears and practices being employed along the Amburayan River. Most of which are traditional knowledge-based and used depending on the season and location of fishing area.
