Rationale of the Study in Mandaya Tribe

Posted by Gongzter Company 10:33


According to the writing of John Garvan in his memoir in the New York Academy of Sciences, the Mandaya is "probably the greatest and best tribe in Eastern Mindanao". Miguel Sadera-Maso writes that the Mandaya "are considered by the non-Christians as the oldest and most illustrious of the peoples." Indeed, Mandaya culture continues to amaze and interest many people as it becomes enduring and persevering generation after generation. The term Mandaya means "inhabitants of the uplands". Quite interestingly, areas occupied by the Mandaya in the Pacific Rim are characterized by rugged topography with few plains along the coastal areas (as cited by Ompang, 2011).
Due to political and economic influences, Mandaya tribe has evolved over time with sub-groups named after their geographical ascriptions. Among these are the Mansaka, Dibabaon, Pagsaupan, Mangguangan, Maragusan, Dibabaon, Kalagan,  Kamayo, and Tagacaolo (as cited by Ompang, 2011). Presently, the concentration of the Mandaya is in Davao Oriental.
