On
Mindanao live 18 tribal Filipino groups. The most well known are the T'boli
and the B'laan (or "Bla-an"). The other groups are the Ata, Bagobo, Banwaon, Bukidnon, Dibabawon,
Higaunon, Kalagan,
Mamanwa, Mandaya, Mangguwangan, Manobo, Mansaka, Subanen, Tagakaolo, Teduray and the
Ubo.
Most characteristic
of these 'indigenous groups' is that they live in a traditional way, comparable with
how the ancestors lived centuries ago.
A group of young dancers clad in
traditional T'boli costume waits for their cue to join a mass of others in a
grand production during the opening program for the 14th T'nalak Festival of
the Province of South Cotabato.
