Objectives •To define the words Ethnic groups, and tribe. •To explain the difference between tribe and ethnic group. •To be able to present the different ethnic groups in the Philippines and show their Language, Religion and their Location.
Definition of Ethnic groups • Groups of people occupying a common territory, having the same cultural heritage, a language of their own, and a common ancestry. (Panopio, Rolda 2000) • Is a type of community, with a specific sense of solidarity and honor, and a set of shared symbols and values. (Smith 1980-65)
Definition of Ethnic groups • An ethnicity, or ethnic group, is a sociallydefined category of people who identify with each other based on common ancestral, social, cultural, or national experience. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_group) • A community or population made up of people who share a common cultural background or descent (http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/e nglish/ethnic-group)
• A social group sharing the same characteristics as the ethnic group and enjoys political autonomy. (Panopio, Rolda 2000) • A social division in a traditional society consisting of families or communities linked by social, economic, religious, or blood ties, with a common culture and dialect, typically having a recognized leader ( http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/tribe)
Tribe cannot be used to refer an ethnic group as the concept cannot be applicable to any Philippine cultural group. All groups are under the jurisdiction of the Philippine government and subject to compliance with the Philippine constitution.

Christian Ethnic groups in Luzon The word "Ilocano" came from the word "Iloco" or "Yloco.“ "i" – 'from', and "looc" – 'bay‘ Ilocandia is the term given to the traditional homeland of the Ilocano people. From the original western strip of Northern Luzon, Ilocandia has spread throughout the Cagayan Valley and some parts of Central Luzon.
Language
Religion
•Ilocanos speak the Ilokano language (also called Iloko). They also speak Cebuano (in Mindanao), Tagalog, and English as second languages.
Most Ilocanos are Roman Catholics, while a significant number belong to the Aglipayan Church, which originated in Ilocos Norte.
• The Ilocano dialect is related to the languages Indonesian, Malay, Fijian, Maori, Hawaiian, Malagasy, Samoan, Tahitian, Chamorro, Tetum and Paiwan. Today, the Ilocano dialect is the third most spoken language in the Philippines. (http://www.ilocanopeople.com/hist ory-of-ilocanos/)
The four provinces of the Ilocano homeland (Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and landlocked Abra) stretch from Cape Bojeador at the northwestern tip of Luzon down to the Gulf of Lingayen. Most of the population is concentrated along a narrow coastal plain that has only a few good harbors. This environment is harsh, forcing Ilocanos to be hard-working and thrifty. Many Ilocanos have left their homeland to seek employment elsewhere.
Location
Ethnic groups in Luzon •The Pangasinan (Pangasinan:Toto on Pangasinan) are the eighth largest Filipino ethnolinguistic group. They are the residents or indigenous peoples of the Province of Pangasinan. The term Pangasinan can also refer to the indigenous speakers of the Pangasinan language, or people of Pangasinan heritage. •The name Pangasinan means "land of salt" or "place of salt-making"; it is derived from asin, the word for “salt”. The Pangasinan people are also called taga-Pangasinan, which means "from Pangasinan".

Language
Religion
•The Pangasinan language belongs to the Malayo-Polynesian languages branch of the Austronesian languages family. Pangasinan is similar to the Tagalog and Ilocano languages that are spoken in the Philippines, Indonesian in Indonesia, Malay inMalaysia, and Malagasy in Madagascar. The Pangasinan language is very closely related to the Ibaloi language spoken in the neighboring province of Benguet and Baguio City, located north of Pangasinan. Pangasinan is classified under the Pangasinic group of languages.
The religion of the people of Pangasinan is predominantly Christian and mostly Roman Catholic followed by Iglesia Ni Cristo, although few are strict believers and continue to practice their indigenous anito beliefs and rituals, like most of the people of the Philippines.
•Pangasinan is spoken primarily in the provinces of Pangasinan and Benguet, and in some areas of the neighboring provinces of Zambales, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Aurora, Nueva Vizcaya, and Ifugao.
Location Pangasinan is located on the west central area of the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Pangasinan borders La Union and Benguet to the north, Nueva Vizcaya and Nueva Ecija to the east, and Zambales and Tarlac to the south. To the west of Pangasinan is the South China Sea. The province also encloses the Lingayen Gulf.
Ethnic groups in Luzon The Kapampangans a re an Austronesian people native to and the sixth largest ethnic group in the Philippines. The word Kapampangan is derived from the rootword pampáng whic h means "river bank.“
Language
Religion
Kapampangan, the Pampango language (Kulitan script: ), is one of the major languages of the Philippines . It is the language spoken in the province of Pampanga, the southern half of the province of Tarlac and the northern portion of the province of Bataan. Kapampangan is also understood in some barangays of Bulacan and Nueva Ecija and by the Aitas or Aeta of Zambales. The language is also called Pampango, and honorifically in the Kapampangan language: Amánung Sísuan, meaning "breastfed language".
Kapampangans are mostly Christians, a majority of which are Roman Catholics, Methodists, Iglesia ni Cristo and of various Protestant denominations and the restorationist The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
Location The province of Pampanga is traditional homeland of the Kapampangans. Once occupying a vast stretch of land that extended from Tondo[1] to the rest of Central Luzon, huge chunks of territories were carved out of Pampanga so as to create the provinces of Bulacan, Bataan, Nueva Ecija, Aurora and Tarlac.[2] As a result, Kapampangans now populate a region that extends beyond the political boundaries of the small province of Pampanga.
Ethnic groups in Luzon The Tagalog people are a major ethnic group in the Philippines. The name Tagalog comes from either the native term tagá-ilog, meaning 'people living along the river ', or another native term, tagá-alog, meaning 'people living along the ford' (the prefix taga- meaning "coming from" or "native of").
Language
Religion
Tagalogs speak the Tagalog language, with many dialectal variations, although all Tagalog dialects are considered to be mutually comprehensible to each other.
The principal religion of Tagalogs is Christianity, mainly Roman Catholicism with a minority practicing Islam, concentrated in the Quiapo district of Manila. Location Tagalogs form a majority in Metro Manila and the provinces of Aurora, Bataan, Batangas, Cavite, Bulacan, Laguna, Marinduque, Nueva Ecija, Occidental Mindoro , Oriental Mindoro, Quezon, Rizal and Zambales. Other provinces with some significant Tagalog populations include the provinces of Palawan, Nueva Vizcaya, Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur.
Ethnic groups in Luzon The Bicolanos are the fifthlargest Filipino ethnolinguistic group.
Language
Religion
The people of the Bicol region, called Bicolanos, speak any of the several languages of the Bikol macrolanguage, also called Bikolano, an Austronesian language closely related to other Central Philippine languages such as Cebuano and Tagalog. Bicol languages include the Inland Bikol of Bikol-Rinconada (Rinconada area), BikolAlbay (Buhi, Cam. Sur; Libon, Oas, Daraga, Albay and Donsol, Sorsogon), Bikol-Pandan (Northern Catanduanes). Standard Bikol is based from the coastal Bikol language of the dialect of Legazpi City and is understood widely throughout the region even though they cannot speak it fluently.
The region retains Roman Catholicism as the overwhelming religion of the great majority. The Catholic religion has the highest number of followers than any other area in the Philippines.
The Bikol macrolanguage is the dominant language of the region. The Filipino language (Tagalog) is also spoken in northern parts of Camarines Norte as well as in the municipality of Del Gallego, Camarines Sur. Two Visayan languages, Sorsoganon and Masbateño or Minasbate, are spoken in Masbate and Sorsogon; they are collectively referred to as Bisakol.
Location The Bicol Region (Filipino: Kabikulan; Spanish: Bicolandia) is one of the 17 Regions of the Philippines, designated as Region V. Bicol (also spelled Bikol) is comprised of four provinces in the Bicol Peninsula : the southeastern end of Luzon island, and two island-provinces adjacent to the peninsula, namely: Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Masbate and Sorsogon.[2] The regional capital, political/istrative center, and largest city is Legazpi City.[3][4] Legazpi City is also considered as the center of tourism, education, health services, commerce [5] and transportation[6] in the Bicol Region.
Ethnic groups in Luzon •Igorot, or Cordillerans, is the collective name of several Austronesian ethnic groups in The Philippines. •The word "Igorot" is an exonym , derived from the archaic Tagalog term for "mountain people" (formed from the prefix i-, "dweller of" andgolot, "mountain range"). During the Spanish colonial era, the term was variously recorded as Igolot, Ygolot, and Igorrote, compliant to Spanish orthography.
Language Their languages belong to the northernLuzon subgroup of the Philippine languages, which belong to the Austronesian (MalayoPolynesian) family.
Location These highland peoples inhabit the six provinces of the Cordillera istrative Region: Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Kalinga, Ifugao, andMountain Province, as well as Baguio City.
Religion •For the Sagada Igorot/Sagadans the spirits of their deceased ancestors ( anitos ) make up the most important category of supernatural. Great emphasis is put on death ceremonies to ensure the future welfare of the soul in the "house of anitos." Full ceremonial rites, which include the initial placement of a corpse in a death chair and coffin burial in ancestral caves or stone-lined mausoleums underground, are performed for deceased married persons only. There is a lengthy mourning period, which is slowly terminated by a series of animal sacrifices. Sagadans bury infants and young children in clay jars beside the house, without prayer or special ceremony. •People consider the old to be the keepers of customs and performers of rituals essential to the continuance of Sagadan society. Consequently elders assume a greater status when they die, that of anito ancestors, in which they continue to look after the welfare of their descendants and to protest against neglect by sending illness and other disasters.
Ethnic groups in Luzon •The ibanags are one of the largest ethnolinguistic minorities in the Philippines. •Ibanag is also known as "Ybanag" and "Ybanak" or "Ibanak". •Ibanags often distinguish themselves by the color of their elbows. "Kunnasi kangisi' na sikum", meaning "How dark is your elbow". Often it is joked upon by Ibanags that their elbows tend to be of darker complexion than the rest of the Filipinos. In addition to this, Ibanags tend to be taller in stock and have a peculiar height on the bridge of their noses. •Their names come from the words "I"- which means "The" and "Bannag"- meaning river.
Language The Ibanag language (also Ybanag) is spoken by about 500,000 speakers in two of the northeasternmost provinces of the Philippines, Isabela and Cagayan, especially in Tuguegarao City, Solana, Cabagan ,San Pablo, Isabela, Tumauini, Isabela, Sta. Maria, Isabela, Sto. Tomas Isabela Ilagan, Gamu, Naguilian and Reina Mercedes. There are also several speakers of the Ibanag language in Abulug, Aparri, Camalaniugan, Lal-lo and Tuao. Most of the speakers can speak Ilocano, the lingua franca of Northern Luzon, as well. Ibanag is derived from bannag 'river' . It is closely related to Gaddang, Itawis, Agta, Atta, Yogad, Isneg and Malaweg.
Religion Religion Because of this historical background, authorities in Ibanag, like Msgr. Domingo P. Mallo, claim that Ibanags are predominantly Catholic. If there are any exceptions, they are too insignificant to merit attention. There is a tendency to hand down their religion to -their children as a matter of course rather than a matter of conviction. " Yawy neyanakammi. We are born in this religion." In fact; to turn away from this "inherited' religion is deemed disastrous.
Location inhabit the provinces of Cagayan,Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya.
Ethnic groups in Luzon •The Gaddang people are a linguistically identified ethnic group of related families sharing lengthy residence in the watershed of the Cagayan River in Northern Luzon, Philippines. •The word "Gaddang" comes from the word ga meaning "heat" and dang meaning "burned"; this likely alludes to the fact that the Gaddang are generally darker of skin than other Cordillera people.
Language •Most Gaddang speakers also speak Ilocano, the lingua franca of Northern Luzon, as well as Tagalog and English. •The Gaddang language is related to Ibanag, Itawis, Malaueg and others. It is distinct in that it features phonemes not present in many neighboring Philippine languages. As an example the "f","v","z" and "j" sounds appear in Gaddang. There are notable differences from other languages in the distinction between "r" and "l", and the "f" sound is somewhat distinct from the "p" sound common in most Philippine languages. Finally, the (Spanish) minimally-voiced "J" sound has evolved to a plosive (so the name "Joseph" sounds to the American ear as "Kosip").
Religion •Nanolay is considered as both the creator of all things and a culture hero for the nonChristian upland Gaddang. Other gods include Dasal, to whom the epic warriors Biwag and Malana prayed for strength and courage before going off to their final battle. The fathers of the two heroes were Bunag, the god of the earth, and Limat, the god of the sea. •Christianized Gaddang basically adhere to Christian norms of worship and ritual and no longer practice the rites of anitu. PreChristian undercurrents, however, continue to run in Christian devotions. The belief in God, for example, closely parallels the concept of Nanolay as the all-benevolent creator. The intercession of gods and spirits have been replaced by the veneration and appeal to saints. Particularly potent beings among the Gaddang are the Blessed Virgin Mary (as illustrated by her role in subduing the serpent of La Torre) and San Luis Beltran, patron saint of Solano, Nueva Vizcaya.
Location The Gaddang (also known as Gadan, Ga'dang, Gaddanes, Iraya, Pagan Gaddang, Yrraya) live in the Northeastern Luzon island, especially in the southern portion of the Cagayan Valley.
Pagan Ethnic groups in Luzon •The Aeta (Ayta, pronounced EYE-tə ), or Agta, are an indigenous people who live in scattered, isolated mountainous parts of the island of Luzon, the Philippines. •These peoples are considered to be Negritos, whose skin ranges from dark to very dark brown, and possessing features such as a small stature and frame; hair of a curly to kinky texture and a higher frequency of naturally lighter colour (blondism) relative to the general population; small nose; and dark brown eyes. They are thought to be among the earliest inhabitants of the Philippines, preceding the Austronesian migrations.
Language
Religion
All Aeta communities have adopted the language of their Austronesian Filipino neighbors , which have sometimes diverged over time to become different languages. These include, in order of number of speakers, Mag-indi, Mag-antsi, Abellen, Ambala, and Mariveleño.
•There are different views on the dominant character of the Aeta religion. Those who believe they are monotheistic argue that various Aeta tribes believe in a supreme being who rules over lesser spirits or deities, with the Aeta of Mt. Pinatubo worshipping "Apo Na". The Aetas are also animists. For example, the Pinatubo Aeta believe in environmental spirits such as anito and kamana. They believe that good and evil spirits inhabit the environment, such as the spirits of the river, sea, sky, mountain, hill, valley and other places.
Location
•No special occasion is needed for the Aeta to pray, although there is a clear link between prayer and economic activities. The Aeta dance before and after a pig hunt. The night before Aeta women gather shellfish, they perform a dance which is partly an apology to the fish and partly a charm to ensure the catch. Similarly, the men hold a bee dance before and after the expeditions for honey.
Aetas are scattered throughout the archipelago. The names given to them vary, depending upon their geographical location. In Zambales, they are known as Pinatubo Ayta; in Palanan Isabela, they are referred to as Dumagat and Agta; in Tanay, they are called Remontados; in the south, they are the Mamanwa.
•Today, a large percentage of Agtas/Aetas of Zambales and Pampanga are Evangelicals. Jehovah's Witnesses also have of the Aeta people. (See 1993 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses)

Christian Ethnic groups in Luzon Language
The Cebuano people ( Cebuano: Sugbuanon) are a Visayan ethnic group in Cebu and form the second largest culturallinguistic group in the Philippines.
The Cebuano language is spoken by about 25,000,000 people in the country and forms the largest of the Visayan languages. Most speakers of Cebuano are found in Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor, Biliran, Western and Southern Leyte, eastern Negros and most of northern Mindanao.
Religion
Location
•The Cebuano people were among the first native inhabitants of the Philippine Archipelago to encounter Europeans and the first to be baptized as Roman Catholic by the Portuguese explorers and Spanish conquistadores.
The province of Cebu
•Majority of Cebuanos are Catholic with a small number of them having different religions such as Muslim and Iglesia ni Kristo.
Christian Ethnic groups in Luzon •The Hiligaynon, often referred to as Ilonggo, are a Visayan ethnic group indigenous to the large eastern coastal plain of PanayIsland.
•The term "Hiligaynon" is derived from the Spanish term "Yliguenes", which is then derived from the Hiligaynon word "Iligan" or "Iliganon". From here are two divergent proposals of origin for the word. The first proposal puts forth that Iligan or "Iliganon" refers to a river, or literally "where the water flows down", and the Spanish were likely to have made this connection to the indigenous residents of Panay, who resided at the river mouth and were thus discovered easily by the Spanish. The second proposal puts forth that "Iligan" or "Iliganon" is derived from "manog-ilig sang kawayan", a phrase that describes bamboo poles that Panay men would float downriver in order to sell the poles. This activity becomes mistaken by the Spanish as the name of the indigenous residents. The term "Ilonggo" is derived from the Spanish term "irongirong", referring to the Filipino word for nose ("ilong") and an islet in the Batiano River in Panay.
Language The Hiligaynon language is part of the Visaya (Bisaya) family of languages in the central islands of the Philippines, and is particular to the Hiligaynon people. Ultimately, it is a Malayo-Polynesian language like many other languages spoken by Filipino ethnic groups, as well as languages in neighboring states such as Indonesia and Malaysia. This language is marked by its song-like intonation in speech, while also having a more prevalent "l" sound than "r" sound.
Religion
Location
Most Hiligaynon are Christians, with a majority of these Christians being Roman Catholics. There are also smaller populations of Hiligaynon who are Aglipayan, Protestant, and Muslim.
Hiligaynon form the majority in the provinces of Iloilo, Negros Occidental, Guimaras, Capiz, South Cotabato, and Sultan Kudarat.
Christian Ethnic groups in Luzon Language The Waray are an ethnoliguistic group of people geographically inhabiting the Eastern Visayas region of the Philippines.
The Waray people speak the Waray-Waray language, a major Visayan language. They also speak Cebuano as their second language. Some people who are of Waray descent also speak Waray-Waray as their second or third language, especially among emigrants to Metro Manila, other parts of the Philippines and in other parts of the world. Other notable foreign languages spoken include English, Spanish, Chinese and Japanese which is spoken by its community and among others.

Christian Ethnic groups in Luzon Language
The Tausūg or Suluk people are an ethnic group of the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. The term Tausūg was derived from two words tau and sūg (or suluk in Malay) meaning "people of the current", referring to their homelands in the Sulu Archipelago . Sūg andsuluk both mean the same thing, with the former being the phonetic evolution in Sulu of the latter (the L being dropped and thus the two short U's merging into one long U).
•Tausūg (Tausūg: Bahasa Sūg, Malay : Bahasa Suluk) is a language spoken in the province of Sulu in the Philippines, in the eastern area of the state of Sabah, Malaysia, and in North Kalimantan, Indonesia by the Tausūg people. •It is widely spoken in the Sulu Archipelago (Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi), Zamboanga Peninsula ( Zamboanga del Norte,Zamboanga Sibugay , Zamboanga del Sur, and Zamboanga City ), Southern Palawan, Malaysia (eastern Sabah) and Indonesia(North Kalimantan). It is the only Philippine language spoken on the island of Borneo. It is very closely related to the Surigaonon language of the provinces Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur and Agusan del Sur in the Philippines, and to the Butuanonlanguage of northeastern Mindanao.
Religion The Tausug are Sunni Muslims, followers of the Shaft school. The Five Pillars are observed, although only the elderly practice daily prayers regularly. All illness, accidents, and other misfortunes are ultimately God's will. However, the Tausug retain elements of pre-Islamic belief and, additionally, see the world as inhabited by local spirits capable of causing good or ill fortune. Folk curers ( mangungubat ) may be sought in time of illness. Traditional medical specialists, who obtain their powers through dreams or by the instruction of older curers, heal mainly by herbal remedies and prayers.
Location •The Tausūg presently populate the Filipino province of Sulu as a majority, and the provinces of Zamboanga del Sur, Basilan, Tawi-Tawi, Palawan, Cebu and Manila as minorities. There is a large population of Filipino-Tausūgs in all parts of Sabah, who mainly work as construction labourers with a substantial number as skilled workers. The Tausūg workers tend to be confused with the more numerous Bajau workers in Sabah. •In Sabah, the Tausūg groups had settled in the eastern parts of Sabah, from Kudat town in the north, to Tawau in the south east, as the Sulu Sultanate once ruled over the eastern part of Sabah. However, any other new Tausūgs who arrived from the Philippines after the 20th century are not recognised as the ethnics of the state and will be considered as illegal immigrants.

Bianca Balmores
The name of the language in Tausug is Bahasa Sūg, which means 'language of Sulu'. The word Tausūg is derived from two words "Tau" which means "person", and "sūg" which means "current", presumably referring to their economic livelihood depending on the strong currents of the Sulu Sea where they used to trans-navigate as fishermen, pearl divers and traders. The Sulu Sea has been use as the strategic trade route of the southern Philippines and other neighboring ASEAN nations, even up to the present time. As early as the 10th century it was believed that there was already flourishing trade route between Sulu with China and North Borneo. Basically the people in this area were known as
The Tausug are Sunni Muslims who observe the Muslims’ Five Pillars. The elder Tausug, on the other hand, are those who continue to do daily prayers. Even if they believe that illnesses, diseases and other misfortunes are part of their god’s will, they still also hang on to the belief of having spirits in the environment that are capable of istering good and bad fortunes. Due to this, they continue to have a mangungubat or folk curers that supposedly treat the ill. They get their powers

•Ilocanos speak the Ilokano language (also called Iloko). They also speak Cebuano (in Mindanao), Tagalog, and English as second languages.
Most Ilocanos are Roman Catholics, while a significant number belong to the Aglipayan Church, which originated in Ilocos Norte.
• The Ilocano dialect is related to the languages Indonesian, Malay, Fijian, Maori, Hawaiian, Malagasy, Samoan, Tahitian, Chamorro, Tetum and Paiwan. Today, the Ilocano dialect is the third most spoken language in the Philippines. (http://www.ilocanopeople.com/hist ory-of-ilocanos/)
The four provinces of the Ilocano homeland (Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and landlocked Abra) stretch from Cape Bojeador at the northwestern tip of Luzon down to the Gulf of Lingayen. Most of the population is concentrated along a narrow coastal plain that has only a few good harbors. This environment is harsh, forcing Ilocanos to be hard-working and thrifty. Many Ilocanos have left their homeland to seek employment elsewhere.

•The Pangasinan language belongs to the Malayo-Polynesian languages branch of the Austronesian languages family. Pangasinan is similar to the Tagalog and Ilocano languages that are spoken in the Philippines, Indonesian in Indonesia, Malay inMalaysia, and Malagasy in Madagascar. The Pangasinan language is very closely related to the Ibaloi language spoken in the neighboring province of Benguet and Baguio City, located north of Pangasinan. Pangasinan is classified under the Pangasinic group of languages.
The religion of the people of Pangasinan is predominantly Christian and mostly Roman Catholic followed by Iglesia Ni Cristo, although few are strict believers and continue to practice their indigenous anito beliefs and rituals, like most of the people of the Philippines.
•Pangasinan is spoken primarily in the provinces of Pangasinan and Benguet, and in some areas of the neighboring provinces of Zambales, Tarlac, Nueva Ecija, Aurora, Nueva Vizcaya, and Ifugao.
Location Pangasinan is located on the west central area of the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Pangasinan borders La Union and Benguet to the north, Nueva Vizcaya and Nueva Ecija to the east, and Zambales and Tarlac to the south. To the west of Pangasinan is the South China Sea. The province also encloses the Lingayen Gulf.

Language
Religion
Kapampangan, the Pampango language (Kulitan script: ), is one of the major languages of the Philippines . It is the language spoken in the province of Pampanga, the southern half of the province of Tarlac and the northern portion of the province of Bataan. Kapampangan is also understood in some barangays of Bulacan and Nueva Ecija and by the Aitas or Aeta of Zambales. The language is also called Pampango, and honorifically in the Kapampangan language: Amánung Sísuan, meaning "breastfed language".
Kapampangans are mostly Christians, a majority of which are Roman Catholics, Methodists, Iglesia ni Cristo and of various Protestant denominations and the restorationist The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
Location The province of Pampanga is traditional homeland of the Kapampangans. Once occupying a vast stretch of land that extended from Tondo[1] to the rest of Central Luzon, huge chunks of territories were carved out of Pampanga so as to create the provinces of Bulacan, Bataan, Nueva Ecija, Aurora and Tarlac.[2] As a result, Kapampangans now populate a region that extends beyond the political boundaries of the small province of Pampanga.
Ethnic groups in Luzon The Tagalog people are a major ethnic group in the Philippines. The name Tagalog comes from either the native term tagá-ilog, meaning 'people living along the river ', or another native term, tagá-alog, meaning 'people living along the ford' (the prefix taga- meaning "coming from" or "native of").
Language
Religion
Tagalogs speak the Tagalog language, with many dialectal variations, although all Tagalog dialects are considered to be mutually comprehensible to each other.
The principal religion of Tagalogs is Christianity, mainly Roman Catholicism with a minority practicing Islam, concentrated in the Quiapo district of Manila. Location Tagalogs form a majority in Metro Manila and the provinces of Aurora, Bataan, Batangas, Cavite, Bulacan, Laguna, Marinduque, Nueva Ecija, Occidental Mindoro , Oriental Mindoro, Quezon, Rizal and Zambales. Other provinces with some significant Tagalog populations include the provinces of Palawan, Nueva Vizcaya, Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur.

Language
Religion
The people of the Bicol region, called Bicolanos, speak any of the several languages of the Bikol macrolanguage, also called Bikolano, an Austronesian language closely related to other Central Philippine languages such as Cebuano and Tagalog. Bicol languages include the Inland Bikol of Bikol-Rinconada (Rinconada area), BikolAlbay (Buhi, Cam. Sur; Libon, Oas, Daraga, Albay and Donsol, Sorsogon), Bikol-Pandan (Northern Catanduanes). Standard Bikol is based from the coastal Bikol language of the dialect of Legazpi City and is understood widely throughout the region even though they cannot speak it fluently.
The region retains Roman Catholicism as the overwhelming religion of the great majority. The Catholic religion has the highest number of followers than any other area in the Philippines.
The Bikol macrolanguage is the dominant language of the region. The Filipino language (Tagalog) is also spoken in northern parts of Camarines Norte as well as in the municipality of Del Gallego, Camarines Sur. Two Visayan languages, Sorsoganon and Masbateño or Minasbate, are spoken in Masbate and Sorsogon; they are collectively referred to as Bisakol.
Location The Bicol Region (Filipino: Kabikulan; Spanish: Bicolandia) is one of the 17 Regions of the Philippines, designated as Region V. Bicol (also spelled Bikol) is comprised of four provinces in the Bicol Peninsula : the southeastern end of Luzon island, and two island-provinces adjacent to the peninsula, namely: Albay, Camarines Norte, Camarines Sur, Catanduanes, Masbate and Sorsogon.[2] The regional capital, political/istrative center, and largest city is Legazpi City.[3][4] Legazpi City is also considered as the center of tourism, education, health services, commerce [5] and transportation[6] in the Bicol Region.
Ethnic groups in Luzon •Igorot, or Cordillerans, is the collective name of several Austronesian ethnic groups in The Philippines. •The word "Igorot" is an exonym , derived from the archaic Tagalog term for "mountain people" (formed from the prefix i-, "dweller of" andgolot, "mountain range"). During the Spanish colonial era, the term was variously recorded as Igolot, Ygolot, and Igorrote, compliant to Spanish orthography.
Language Their languages belong to the northernLuzon subgroup of the Philippine languages, which belong to the Austronesian (MalayoPolynesian) family.
Location These highland peoples inhabit the six provinces of the Cordillera istrative Region: Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Kalinga, Ifugao, andMountain Province, as well as Baguio City.
Religion •For the Sagada Igorot/Sagadans the spirits of their deceased ancestors ( anitos ) make up the most important category of supernatural. Great emphasis is put on death ceremonies to ensure the future welfare of the soul in the "house of anitos." Full ceremonial rites, which include the initial placement of a corpse in a death chair and coffin burial in ancestral caves or stone-lined mausoleums underground, are performed for deceased married persons only. There is a lengthy mourning period, which is slowly terminated by a series of animal sacrifices. Sagadans bury infants and young children in clay jars beside the house, without prayer or special ceremony. •People consider the old to be the keepers of customs and performers of rituals essential to the continuance of Sagadan society. Consequently elders assume a greater status when they die, that of anito ancestors, in which they continue to look after the welfare of their descendants and to protest against neglect by sending illness and other disasters.
Ethnic groups in Luzon •The ibanags are one of the largest ethnolinguistic minorities in the Philippines. •Ibanag is also known as "Ybanag" and "Ybanak" or "Ibanak". •Ibanags often distinguish themselves by the color of their elbows. "Kunnasi kangisi' na sikum", meaning "How dark is your elbow". Often it is joked upon by Ibanags that their elbows tend to be of darker complexion than the rest of the Filipinos. In addition to this, Ibanags tend to be taller in stock and have a peculiar height on the bridge of their noses. •Their names come from the words "I"- which means "The" and "Bannag"- meaning river.
Language The Ibanag language (also Ybanag) is spoken by about 500,000 speakers in two of the northeasternmost provinces of the Philippines, Isabela and Cagayan, especially in Tuguegarao City, Solana, Cabagan ,San Pablo, Isabela, Tumauini, Isabela, Sta. Maria, Isabela, Sto. Tomas Isabela Ilagan, Gamu, Naguilian and Reina Mercedes. There are also several speakers of the Ibanag language in Abulug, Aparri, Camalaniugan, Lal-lo and Tuao. Most of the speakers can speak Ilocano, the lingua franca of Northern Luzon, as well. Ibanag is derived from bannag 'river' . It is closely related to Gaddang, Itawis, Agta, Atta, Yogad, Isneg and Malaweg.
Religion Religion Because of this historical background, authorities in Ibanag, like Msgr. Domingo P. Mallo, claim that Ibanags are predominantly Catholic. If there are any exceptions, they are too insignificant to merit attention. There is a tendency to hand down their religion to -their children as a matter of course rather than a matter of conviction. " Yawy neyanakammi. We are born in this religion." In fact; to turn away from this "inherited' religion is deemed disastrous.
Location inhabit the provinces of Cagayan,Isabela and Nueva Vizcaya.
Ethnic groups in Luzon •The Gaddang people are a linguistically identified ethnic group of related families sharing lengthy residence in the watershed of the Cagayan River in Northern Luzon, Philippines. •The word "Gaddang" comes from the word ga meaning "heat" and dang meaning "burned"; this likely alludes to the fact that the Gaddang are generally darker of skin than other Cordillera people.
Language •Most Gaddang speakers also speak Ilocano, the lingua franca of Northern Luzon, as well as Tagalog and English. •The Gaddang language is related to Ibanag, Itawis, Malaueg and others. It is distinct in that it features phonemes not present in many neighboring Philippine languages. As an example the "f","v","z" and "j" sounds appear in Gaddang. There are notable differences from other languages in the distinction between "r" and "l", and the "f" sound is somewhat distinct from the "p" sound common in most Philippine languages. Finally, the (Spanish) minimally-voiced "J" sound has evolved to a plosive (so the name "Joseph" sounds to the American ear as "Kosip").
Religion •Nanolay is considered as both the creator of all things and a culture hero for the nonChristian upland Gaddang. Other gods include Dasal, to whom the epic warriors Biwag and Malana prayed for strength and courage before going off to their final battle. The fathers of the two heroes were Bunag, the god of the earth, and Limat, the god of the sea. •Christianized Gaddang basically adhere to Christian norms of worship and ritual and no longer practice the rites of anitu. PreChristian undercurrents, however, continue to run in Christian devotions. The belief in God, for example, closely parallels the concept of Nanolay as the all-benevolent creator. The intercession of gods and spirits have been replaced by the veneration and appeal to saints. Particularly potent beings among the Gaddang are the Blessed Virgin Mary (as illustrated by her role in subduing the serpent of La Torre) and San Luis Beltran, patron saint of Solano, Nueva Vizcaya.
Location The Gaddang (also known as Gadan, Ga'dang, Gaddanes, Iraya, Pagan Gaddang, Yrraya) live in the Northeastern Luzon island, especially in the southern portion of the Cagayan Valley.
Pagan Ethnic groups in Luzon •The Aeta (Ayta, pronounced EYE-tə ), or Agta, are an indigenous people who live in scattered, isolated mountainous parts of the island of Luzon, the Philippines. •These peoples are considered to be Negritos, whose skin ranges from dark to very dark brown, and possessing features such as a small stature and frame; hair of a curly to kinky texture and a higher frequency of naturally lighter colour (blondism) relative to the general population; small nose; and dark brown eyes. They are thought to be among the earliest inhabitants of the Philippines, preceding the Austronesian migrations.
Language
Religion
All Aeta communities have adopted the language of their Austronesian Filipino neighbors , which have sometimes diverged over time to become different languages. These include, in order of number of speakers, Mag-indi, Mag-antsi, Abellen, Ambala, and Mariveleño.
•There are different views on the dominant character of the Aeta religion. Those who believe they are monotheistic argue that various Aeta tribes believe in a supreme being who rules over lesser spirits or deities, with the Aeta of Mt. Pinatubo worshipping "Apo Na". The Aetas are also animists. For example, the Pinatubo Aeta believe in environmental spirits such as anito and kamana. They believe that good and evil spirits inhabit the environment, such as the spirits of the river, sea, sky, mountain, hill, valley and other places.
Location
•No special occasion is needed for the Aeta to pray, although there is a clear link between prayer and economic activities. The Aeta dance before and after a pig hunt. The night before Aeta women gather shellfish, they perform a dance which is partly an apology to the fish and partly a charm to ensure the catch. Similarly, the men hold a bee dance before and after the expeditions for honey.
Aetas are scattered throughout the archipelago. The names given to them vary, depending upon their geographical location. In Zambales, they are known as Pinatubo Ayta; in Palanan Isabela, they are referred to as Dumagat and Agta; in Tanay, they are called Remontados; in the south, they are the Mamanwa.
•Today, a large percentage of Agtas/Aetas of Zambales and Pampanga are Evangelicals. Jehovah's Witnesses also have of the Aeta people. (See 1993 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses)

The Cebuano people ( Cebuano: Sugbuanon) are a Visayan ethnic group in Cebu and form the second largest culturallinguistic group in the Philippines.
The Cebuano language is spoken by about 25,000,000 people in the country and forms the largest of the Visayan languages. Most speakers of Cebuano are found in Cebu, Bohol, Siquijor, Biliran, Western and Southern Leyte, eastern Negros and most of northern Mindanao.

Christian Ethnic groups in Luzon •The Hiligaynon, often referred to as Ilonggo, are a Visayan ethnic group indigenous to the large eastern coastal plain of PanayIsland.
•The term "Hiligaynon" is derived from the Spanish term "Yliguenes", which is then derived from the Hiligaynon word "Iligan" or "Iliganon". From here are two divergent proposals of origin for the word. The first proposal puts forth that Iligan or "Iliganon" refers to a river, or literally "where the water flows down", and the Spanish were likely to have made this connection to the indigenous residents of Panay, who resided at the river mouth and were thus discovered easily by the Spanish. The second proposal puts forth that "Iligan" or "Iliganon" is derived from "manog-ilig sang kawayan", a phrase that describes bamboo poles that Panay men would float downriver in order to sell the poles. This activity becomes mistaken by the Spanish as the name of the indigenous residents. The term "Ilonggo" is derived from the Spanish term "irongirong", referring to the Filipino word for nose ("ilong") and an islet in the Batiano River in Panay.
Language The Hiligaynon language is part of the Visaya (Bisaya) family of languages in the central islands of the Philippines, and is particular to the Hiligaynon people. Ultimately, it is a Malayo-Polynesian language like many other languages spoken by Filipino ethnic groups, as well as languages in neighboring states such as Indonesia and Malaysia. This language is marked by its song-like intonation in speech, while also having a more prevalent "l" sound than "r" sound.
Religion

Most Hiligaynon are Christians, with a majority of these Christians being Roman Catholics. There are also smaller populations of Hiligaynon who are Aglipayan, Protestant, and Muslim.

The Tausūg or Suluk people are an ethnic group of the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia. The term Tausūg was derived from two words tau and sūg (or suluk in Malay) meaning "people of the current", referring to their homelands in the Sulu Archipelago . Sūg andsuluk both mean the same thing, with the former being the phonetic evolution in Sulu of the latter (the L being dropped and thus the two short U's merging into one long U).
•Tausūg (Tausūg: Bahasa Sūg, Malay : Bahasa Suluk) is a language spoken in the province of Sulu in the Philippines, in the eastern area of the state of Sabah, Malaysia, and in North Kalimantan, Indonesia by the Tausūg people. •It is widely spoken in the Sulu Archipelago (Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi), Zamboanga Peninsula ( Zamboanga del Norte,Zamboanga Sibugay , Zamboanga del Sur, and Zamboanga City ), Southern Palawan, Malaysia (eastern Sabah) and Indonesia(North Kalimantan). It is the only Philippine language spoken on the island of Borneo. It is very closely related to the Surigaonon language of the provinces Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur and Agusan del Sur in the Philippines, and to the Butuanonlanguage of northeastern Mindanao.
Religion The Tausug are Sunni Muslims, followers of the Shaft school. The Five Pillars are observed, although only the elderly practice daily prayers regularly. All illness, accidents, and other misfortunes are ultimately God's will. However, the Tausug retain elements of pre-Islamic belief and, additionally, see the world as inhabited by local spirits capable of causing good or ill fortune. Folk curers ( mangungubat ) may be sought in time of illness. Traditional medical specialists, who obtain their powers through dreams or by the instruction of older curers, heal mainly by herbal remedies and prayers.
Location •The Tausūg presently populate the Filipino province of Sulu as a majority, and the provinces of Zamboanga del Sur, Basilan, Tawi-Tawi, Palawan, Cebu and Manila as minorities. There is a large population of Filipino-Tausūgs in all parts of Sabah, who mainly work as construction labourers with a substantial number as skilled workers. The Tausūg workers tend to be confused with the more numerous Bajau workers in Sabah. •In Sabah, the Tausūg groups had settled in the eastern parts of Sabah, from Kudat town in the north, to Tawau in the south east, as the Sulu Sultanate once ruled over the eastern part of Sabah. However, any other new Tausūgs who arrived from the Philippines after the 20th century are not recognised as the ethnics of the state and will be considered as illegal immigrants.

The name of the language in Tausug is Bahasa Sūg, which means 'language of Sulu'. The word Tausūg is derived from two words "Tau" which means "person", and "sūg" which means "current", presumably referring to their economic livelihood depending on the strong currents of the Sulu Sea where they used to trans-navigate as fishermen, pearl divers and traders. The Sulu Sea has been use as the strategic trade route of the southern Philippines and other neighboring ASEAN nations, even up to the present time. As early as the 10th century it was believed that there was already flourishing trade route between Sulu with China and North Borneo. Basically the people in this area were known as
The Tausug are Sunni Muslims who observe the Muslims’ Five Pillars. The elder Tausug, on the other hand, are those who continue to do daily prayers.
