I PEACE MINDANAO

Katawhan Lumad

Katawhan Lumad are the un-Islamized and un-Christianized Austronesian peoples of Mindanao, namely Erumanen ne Menuvu`, Matidsalug Manobo, Agusanon Manobo, Dulangan Manobo, Dabaw Manobo,Ata Manobo, B'laan, Kaulo, Banwaon, Teduray, Lambangian, Subanen, Higaunon, Dibabawon, Mangguwangan, Mansaka, Mandaya, K'lagan, T'boli, Mamanuwa, Talaandig, Tagabawa, and Ubu`, Tinenanen, Kuwemanen, K'lata and Diyangan. There are about twenty general hilltribes of Mindanao, all of which are Austronesian.

The term Lumad excludes the Butuanons and Surigaonons--even the said two ethnic groups are native to Mindanao and the word tells it so—because those two are Visayans and Lumad are not ethnically related to them, which creates a contradiction because the word lumad literally means "native" in Visayan.


B'laan

The B'laan is an indigenous group that is concentrated in Davao del Sur and South Cotabato. They practices indigenous rituals while adaptating to the way of life of modern Filipinos.[2]


Kaulo

Kaulo are also called kaolo/kaulu, tagakaulo/tagakaolo/tagakaulu, is one of the tribe exist in Mindanao. KA- means people, ULO- means top. Therefore, KAULO are people living in the top of mountain. Their habitat is found in the province of Davao Del Sur and Sarangani Province particularly in Malalag, Lais, Talaguton Rivers, Sta. Maria Malita Davao del Sur and Malungon Sarangani Province. But long time ago, the KAULO tribe is originally come from western shores of the gulf of Davao and south of Mt. Apo [3]
Manobo
Cotabato Manobo is a language spoken by the Manobo people of Mindanao in the Philippines.


Subanon

The Subanuns are the first settlers of the Zamboanga peninsula. Because they live near the river ("suba"), they are called river dwellers or Suba-nuns. The family is patriarchal while the village is led by a chief called Timuay. He acts as the village judge and is concerned with all communal matters.


Higaonon

The Higaonon is located on the provinces of Bukidnon, Agusan del Sur, Misamis Oriental, Rogongon, Iligan City, and Lanao del Norte. Their name means "people of the wilderness". Most Higaonons still have a rather traditional way of living. Farming is the most important economic activity.


Kalagan

Cultural groups Majority of the inhabitants of the region are of Visayan lineage. The ethnic residents include the Manobo, the Mamanwa and other tribes.

Kamayo are related linguistically to the Tausug and Butuanon, and belong to the Meso and central Philippine family of languages. The group are concentrated in the provinces of Agusan del Norte (6,500) and Surigao del Sur (115,850). The population estimate at present is placed at 122,350 (NM 1994).

Like most of the groups in the eastern coast of Mindanao, the Kamayo cultivate wet rice in the flat land along the coast and nearby valleys while upland fields are planted to a variety of crops including cash crops of abaca.



Mamanwa

The Mamanwa is a Negrito tribe often grouped together with the Lumad. They believe in a collection of spirits, which are governed by the supreme deity Magbabaya. The tribe produce excellent winnowing baskets, rattan hammocks, and other household containers. If the Manobos are considered as the first Cantilan gnons, the Mamanwas could also lay claim to the same title. The big difference, however, between the two cultural minorities is that the Mamanwas are lesser in number and more scattered and nomadic than the Manobos. The Mamanwas are a different breed of people in their looks and physical features compared to the lowlanders and the upland living Manobos. Presently, there are still few Mamanwas who, on fiesta days, roam Cantilan streets and its barangays. In modern Cantilan, they are a vanishing tribe who could be traced only in the deep and distant mountains like the Mandajas who inter-marry with the Manobos.

Unlike the Manobos, the Mamanwas did not adopt the lowlanders’ way of living even if they were already Christianized. They had been rooted for centuries in the indigenous culture which is very difficult to understand. The speak their own dialect which noticeably has some phonetic similarities with that of Cantilan’s lowlanders. Unlike the Manobos and Mandayas, they do not go to schools to learn either Pilipino or English. Some old Mamanwas of today tell of their ancestors’ early habitats along river mouths, seashores, islets and islands. They cannot, however, pinpoint particular areas as their permanent settlements for they did not have any. They transfer from place to place and travel as far as their minds could imagine and their feet could carry them. The transfers usually happen in case of deaths for it was the old customs to pack up and leave the place when death occurs even if their plants are ready for harvest.


Mandaya

"Mandaya" derives from "man" meaning "first," and "daya" meaning "upstream" or "upper portion of a river," and therefore means "the first people upstream". It refers to a number of groups found along the mountain ranges of Davao Oriental, as well as to their customs, language, and beliefs. The Mandaya are also found in Compostela and New Bataan in Compostela Valley Province (formerly a part of Davao del Norte Province).


Mansaka

The term "Mansaka" derives from "man" meaning "men" and "saka" meaning "climb," and means "the first people to ascend the mountains or go upstream." The term most likely describes the origin of these people who are found today in Davao del Norte, specifically in the Batoto River, the Manat Valley, the Marasugan Valley, the Hijo River Valley, and the seacoasts of Kingking, Maco, Kwambog, Hijo, Tagum, Libuganon, Tuganay, Ising, and Panabo.


Sangil

The Sangir or Sangil is located in the islands of Balut, Sarangani, and the coastal areas of South Cotabato and Davao del Sur. Their name comes from Sangihe, an archipelago located between Sulawesi and Mindanao. This was their original home but they migrated northwards.


Subanon

History has better words to speak for Misamis Occidental. Its principal city was originally populated by the Subanon, a cultural group that once roamed the seas in great number, the province was an easy prey to the marauding sea pirates of Lanao whose habit was to stage lightning forays along the coastal areas in search of slaves. As the Subanon retreated deeper and deeper into the interior, the coastal areas became home to inhabitants from Bukidnon who were steadily followed by settlers from nearby Cebu and Bohol. The name Subanon, "which is derived from the word suba, "river," means a river people. c danevie kay subanon!!! taga suba

[edit] Tasaday


Tasaday

The Tasadays were purportedly a group of about two dozen people living within the deep and mountainous rainforests of Mindanao.


Tboli

The Tbolis are one of the indigenous peoples of South Mindanao. From the body of ethnographic and linguistic literature on Mindanao they are variously known as Toboli, T'boli, Tböli, Tiboli, Tibole, Tagabili, Tagabeli, and Tagabulu. They term themselves Tboli or T'boli. Their whereabouts and identity is to some extend confused in the literature; some publications present the Toboli and the Tagabili as distinct peoples; some locate the Tbolis to the vicinity of the Buluan Lake in the Cotabato Basin or in Agusan del Norte. The Tbolis, then, reside on the mountain slopes on either side of the upper Alah Valley and the coastal area of Maitum, Maasim and Kiamba. In former times, the Tbolis also inhabited the upper Alah Valley floor.

I-Peace( Indigenous Peace ) is a coalition of leaders and communities of the indigenous people and the indigenous professionals of Mindanao, Philippines. I-Peace( Indigenous Peace ) seeks to address the peace and development concerns of Mindanao, particularly the IP ancestral lands.

Tahap Pertama.
Zaman Nabi Muhammad Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam. Pada jenjang ini penyandaran pada hafalan lebih banyak daripada penyandaran pada tulisan karena hafalan para Sahabat Radhiyallahu ‘anhum sangat kuat dan cepat di samping sedikitnya orang yang bisa baca tulis dan sarananya. Oleh karena itu siapa saja dari kalangan mereka yang mendengar satu ayat, dia akan langsung menghafalnya atau menuliskannya dengan sarana seadanya di pelepah kurma, potongan kulit, permukaan batu cadas atau tulang belikat unta. Jumlah para penghapal Al-Qur’an sangat banyak

Dalam kitab Shahih Bukhari [1] dari Anas Ibn Malik Radhiyallahu ‘anhu bahwasanya Nabi Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam mengutus tujuh puluh orang yang disebut Al-Qurra’. Mereka dihadang dan dibunuh oleh penduduk dua desa dari suku Bani Sulaim ; Ri’l dan Dzakwan di dekat sumur Ma’unah. Namun di kalangan para sahabat selain mereka masih banyak para penghapal Al-Qur’an, seperti Khulafaur Rasyidin, Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud, Salim bekas budak Abu Hudzaifah, Ubay Ibn Ka’ab, Mu’adz Ibn Jabal, Zaid Ibn Tsabit dan Abu Darda Radhiyallahu ‘anhum.
