Matigsalug IP Village

📍Sinuda, Kitaotao, Bukidnon

The Matigsalug tribe thrives deep in the region’s highland, between the boundaries of Davao City and Bukidnon Province. They are the original residents of the Salug River (now called the Davao River), and their name translates to “river people.” The Tigwa-Salug Valley in San Fernando, Bukidnon, has been classified as their ancestral area with the aid of the Philippine authorities on the account that it is home to an astounding number of 50, 000 Matigsalug. If you happen to be nearby, take a look and appreciate Matigsalug’s age-old way of life.
