PALAW’AN TRIBE
 The Palawan tribal people, also known as the
Palawano or the Palaw’an, is an indigeneous
ethnic group of islands in the Philippines.
 The Palaw’ans were originally a tribe in the
southern part of Palawan until agrarian
settlers started to occupy their once vast
domain. The tribe would exploit the most
fertile piece of land and move on to the next.
Their family units were very small, possibly
due to high mortality rates.
 Palaw’ ans built their houses usually on a hillside but close to the river or stream
using skinny trunks of trees. The floor is roughly 15 to 20 feet from the ground, and
families used a slanted log to climb up their houses.

 The palaw’ans were so naive in socializing with their outside world, and they would
welcome you with extreme precaution as they were always scared of getting sick
The Palaw’ans are divided into 4 ethno-
linguistic subgroupings. These are ;

• Quezon palawano (Central


palawano)
• Bugsuk palawano (South Palawan )
• Brooke’s Point (Palawano )
• Southwest Palawano
• The Palaw’an tribe are most likely to
be tanned, short, and have curly
hair
TRADITION’S
 The palaw’an tribe are hunters, forest-foragers, and cultivators who prefer to live in a far-flung upland
areas near the forests where they mostly acquire their everyday necessities. palaw’ans favorite meat,
and they must make a request to the pig animal master before catching it.

 Bees are also believed to have their own master who can only be seen by the Beljan (shaman)
during trance.

 They hunt wild animals using spears with lethal poison at the tip of it and catch fish by using a special
root sap that is diluted in a shallow river or stream.

 The palaw’ans hardly domesticate chickens nor hogs, they prefer dogs which comes very helpful
during their hunt.

 Pasaguli - palawanon courtship, wherein the bride’s parents will ask the bridegroom’s parents to solve
riddles which if answered satisfactority to the bride’s parent, the courtship will continue to the next
level until the rites of “paabot” or pamamanhikan in tagalog.
CULTURE & BELIEF

 Palaw’ans were animist who regularly performed rituals to appease the good and bad spirits to assist the tribe
in both spiritual and material matters. The palaw’ans grow most of their food on small plots of land in the
forest. Before clearing an area for planting, they consult and appease various spirits and interpret omens in
their dreams.

 Their ceremonies, prayers, chanting, and healing dances are all part of what they call the adat et
kegurangurangan, or the “customs of the ancestors”
