The lives and traditions of Davao City’s 11 ethnic groups
Considered to be the Philippines’ largest city in terms of land area, Davao City is a sprawling 2,444-square kilometer area that has a population of about 1.632,991 million people based on the 2015 census. Dabawenyos (meaning the residents of Davao City and not the ethnic group of the same name) which is how local residents of the city are called, are mostly Visayans. The rest of the population are lumads or indigenous people belonging to different ethnic groups, while massive immigration is a continuing trend since the start of the 20th century. Davao City boasts of unity in diversity among the city’s population including the 11 ethnic groups with respect for one’s culture and traditions. Dabawenyos, migrants, lumads, not to mention ethnic Americans, Chinese, Koreans, Indians, Japanese, Indonesians and Malaysians co-exist in a city that is said to be one of the world’s safest cities. Let’s get to know these 11 ethnic communities, whose colorful and rich culture contributes to a vibrant and interesting metropolis, that is Davao City. [caption id="attachment_173319" align="aligncenter" width="948"] MERANAW - The Meranaw are said to have the best traditional clothes out of all Filipino ethnic groups. The name means “People of the Lake” and they are known to be brave. Historically, the Meranaw are believed to have offered sacrifices in defense of their homelands and to pay homage to Islam, their religion. Among those the ethnic group takes pride in is their rich literature which includes the chanted epic Darangen as well as their sophisticated wood and metal crafts expressed in their Torogan — a special house built for a Meranaw maiden — Okir, a design motif.| Photograph By Roel Hoang Manipon[/caption] [caption id="attachment_173320" align="aligncenter" width="1044"] Ata MANOBO — The Ata Manobo or “dwellers in highlands” are powerful people who appear to be a mixture of Negritos and other ethnicities in the area. As occupants of the headwaters of Davao, Tuganay and Libuganon rivers, the Ata Manobo depend primarily on hunting as their livelihood. They are thought to be sensitive and vindictive but can be easily pacified if handled with utmost diplomacy. | Photograph Courtesy Of Gerald Macfred Dillera[/caption] [caption id="attachment_173321" align="aligncenter" width="683"] Kagan— The group’s name was derived from the word kaog which means “whisper.” The Kagan people are known as agriculturists—cultivating rice, corn, abaca and coconut for cash crops. Those who are living near the coasts practice fishing. They are Tagakaolo who have converted to Islam either through intermarriage or contact with the Maguindanaos. | Photograph Courtesy Of Fb.com/davao Group 6 B[/caption] [caption id="attachment_173322" align="aligncenter" width="1149"] Klata-guiangan — Klatas occupy a very small territory stretching from Catalunan to Calinan within Davao City. Their traditional population centers included Blao, Tagakpan, Dulian, Sirib, Gunalong and Tamugan. They are called the “forest dwellers.” | Photograph Courtesy Of Fb.com/kadayawan Festival[/caption] [caption id="attachment_173323" align="aligncenter" width="885"] Iranun — They are regarded as the fiercest pirates in Southeast Asia, adopting a typical maritime lifestyle of sea invaders. They attacked merchant shipping and coastal settlements in the Philippines, the straits of Malacca and the islands beyond Sulawesi. These days, they work as fishermen and long-distance traders. | Photograph By Roel Hoang Manipon[/caption] [caption id="attachment_173324" align="aligncenter" width="967"] Sama — The Sama people are described as peace-loving and cohesive people, thus putting so much value on togetherness. Their forebears are said to possess special powers having the supernatural ability to invite spirits called Jin to do things for them. Majority of the Sama people are mostly living in the Bunawan and other coastal areas in Davao City. | Photograph By Roel Hoang Manipon[/caption] [caption id="attachment_173325" align="aligncenter" width="1034"] Maguindanao — Their name means “people of the flood plain” and their traditional home range includes Maguindanao del Sur and Maguindanao del Norte. Outside these provinces, they are scattered around the three districts of Davao City and other nearby provinces like Davao del Sur, Davao del Norte and Davao Oriental. Living mostly along the mouths of rivers, they impeded the Spanish colonizers’ efforts in bringing the other indigenous groups of Davao into the Christian fold. | Photograph By Roel Hoang Manipon[/caption] [caption id="attachment_173326" align="aligncenter" width="973"] OBO Monobo — The Obo Monobo are known for their intricate casting, fine weaponry and jewelry. For them, these things possess souls, as souls also possess animate objects. Obo oral tradition tells of Apo Sandawa’s journey from the north to Davao. Apo Sandawa’s point of entry in Davao was at Ulas. From Ulas, Apo Sandawa and family moved north towards the Talomo mountains, even reaching Mt. Sinaka. Apo Sandawa’s journey ended in Mt. Apo where he was buried. Apo Sandawa is considered the ancestor of the Obo. | Photograph By Roel Hoang Manipon[/caption] [caption id="attachment_173327" align="aligncenter" width="919"] Tausug — The Tausugs traditionally reside in the archipelago of Sulu. Their name means “people of the current,” and they are known for their courage and bravery. Loyalty is an important trait among the Tausugs. They practice the ritual of blood compact to signify the depth of their loyalty to one another. They are fierce and dangerous but the moment one befriends one of them, the bond will be enduring. | Photograph By Roel Hoang Manipon[/caption] [caption id="attachment_173328" align="aligncenter" width="903"] Matigsalog — A subgroup of the Manobo, the Matigsalog or “river people” are considered to be the most aboriginal inhabitants of Mindanao chiefly occupying the Agusan River valley in Compostella, from Malalag to Sarangani and between Cuabo and Cape San Agustin. In Davao City, they live mostly in the hinterlands of Marilog, Marahan or Paquibato. Their houses are built near the rivers, often on the forks of trees. Of Malay descent, the Matigsalog are of slight built but athletic. Their name is made up of two words Matig (place of origin) and Salug (river). They are regarded as one of Davao’s colorful ethnic groups. | Photograph Courtesy Of Wikicommons/nick Nichols Cc By 2.0[/caption] The post The lives and traditions of Davao City’s 11 ethnic groups appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
Deadly love, trauma, romance and death-defying stunts
[caption id="attachment_154993" align="aligncenter" width="669"] PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF VIVAMAXTHE cast of Vivamax’s ‘Deadly Love.’[/caption] Series Deadly Love. Last Wednesday, a few press members were teased with the first two episodes of Derick Cabrido’s romantic murder mystery Deadly Love at Cinema ’76 Tomas Morato. Top-billed by Louise Delos Reyes, Marco Gumabao, McCoy De Leon, and award-winning actress Jaclyn Jose, the series is set in a small fictional coastal town in the superstitious province of Pangasinan. Something sinister is lurking — but who? While I have problems with the clunky, inconsistent script, there is no denying that Cabrido knows how to hold your interest with his moody thriller. There is a mystery vibe all throughout, with my mind constantly swimming with guesses. But what strikes me the most is the breathtaking location and the pretty cinematography. The quality of the visuals is superb, evoking eerie feels all throughout, which makes me look forward to finishing the rest of the episodes. The miniseries will drop tomorrow, 10 July, on Viva One, Vivamax’s newest app. [caption id="attachment_154992" align="aligncenter" width="525"] PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF primE VIDEO‘THE Summer I Turned Pretty’ stars Lola Tung and Chris Briener.[/caption] The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2. I am a big fan of Season 1, bingeing the entire season in two days tops. Based on Jenny Han’s best-selling books, the coming-of-age tale focuses on Belly (the captivating Lola Tung) and how her life unravels in an unforgettable summer at Cousins Beach. It’s basically a love triangle between teenagers. Still, even adults will fall in love with the wholly engrossing story that also involves Belly’s novelist mom (Jackie Chung) and her cancer-stricken best friend, Susannah (Rachel Blanchard). Season 2 picks up a year after the events of the first season and is based on Han’s book It’s Not Summer Without You. The eight episodes will drop on a weekly basis beginning 14 July on Amazon Prime. [caption id="attachment_154994" align="aligncenter" width="525"] PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF PARAMOUNT TOM Cruise and Vanessa Kirby in ‘Mission Impossible— Dead Reckoning Part One.[/caption] Movies Causeway. Another A24 gem. Jennifer Lawrence stars in Lila Neugebauer’s gripping and powerful drama Causeway as Lynsey, an injured soldier returning home from her Afghanistan tour. Suffering from traumatic brain injury, Lynsey struggles to return to her daily life in New Orleans. During rehabilitation, she befriends an auto-mechanic, played by Brian Tyree Henry, who also has physical and mental trauma. Slow-burn but rich with deeply explored themes on mental health, trauma, and friendship, Causeway, which earned Henry a nomination at the 95th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, is a must-see if you are on the hunt for quality drama. It is now streaming on AppleTV+. Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One. The sequel to Mission: Impossible — Fallout (2018) and the seventh installment in the Mission: Impossible film series is a blockbuster event you would not want to miss. Dead Reckoning Part One follows the events of Fallout, where Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) leads his crew to save the world from a nuclear apocalypse. The trailer is enough to convince you to head to the cinema on its opening day on Wednesday, 12 July. The death-defying stunts, including a 61-year-old Tom Cruise riding a motorcycle off the edge of a cliff, should only be seen on the big screen. The beloved franchise’s latest offering will surely be one of the biggest cinematic events of the year.
