Mindanao
It is the second largest
island group in the
Philippines. Unlike Luzon
and Visayas, Mindanao
was not entirely colonized
by the Spaniards, only few
port cities were under the
Spanish rule.
Mindanao

Peninsula, Northern Mindanao, Soccsksargen, ARMM,
and Caraga Region.

There are four major regional languages in Mindanao:


Chavacano, Maguindanao, Maranao, and Tausug.

The region is generally inhabited by Muslims. Although
they are no longer a majority, the Islamic culture is still
evident.

Large ethnic minorities can be found in Mindanao such


as: Maranao, Maguindanao, Ilanun, and Sangil. These
groups can also referred to as Moro.
Mindanao
The following group can be found in the uplands:
Bagobo, Bukidnon, Manadaya, Manobo, and Subanon.

The folk literature of Mindanao may be in prose or


verse. These are of collective authorship instead of
individual authorship.
Mindanao
Every ethnic minority has a number of raconteurs or
narrators who deliver a story in a creative way, bearing two
or three or more folktales. The stories they tell have been
conveyed to them by older members of their respected
families, friends, and acquaintances, some of whom have
already died. Raconteurs can be young or old, men or
women.
