Published free: the link opens the whole book.
A short profile of the non-Moro indigenous peoples living in mainland ARMM: the Teduray, Lambangian, Dulangan Manobo and Higaonon. It covers their society, culture, economy and population, and was made with EU support.
This short profile reports a survey of the indigenous peoples of Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur, the mainland part of the old ARMM. It came out of IPDEV, a Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung project with EU funding on the rights of indigenous peoples in the ARMM. Its partner DEVCON ran the survey from August 2012 to February 2013 in 80 barangays across 12 municipalities.
It counted 117,189 people in 15,510 households. Of these, 110,559 were Teduray, 3,139 Lambangian and 2,905 Dulangan Manobo, along with 587 people from 17 other groups, including the Higaonon, who settled in Wao, Lanao del Sur. Together they made up about 6% of the 2 provinces' population. Sections cover households, education, housing, health, livelihoods, income and land titles.
The conclusion finds these peoples poor and marginal, with the rights promised by the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act still unrealised. It says they hold an identity distinct from both the Bangsamoro and Christian settlers. A list of the 80 barangays is included.
