    Rodolfo D. Mendez
    The Kalagan (also spelled Kagan, Kaagan, or by the Spanish as
    Caragan) are a subgroup of the Mandaya-Mansaka people who
    speak the Kalagan language. The Kalagan comprise three
    subgroups which are usually treated as different tribes: the
    Tagakaulo, the Kagan, and the Kal’lao people of Samal. They are
    native to areas within Davao del Sur, Compostela Valley, Davao
    del Norte (including Samal Island), Davao Oriental, and North
    Cotabato; between the territories of the Blaan people and the
    coastline. They were historically composed of small warring
    groups.[1] They are renowned as agriculturalists, cultivating
    rice, corn, abaca, and coconut for cash crops, whereas their
    counterparts living along the coast practice fishing.

    The "Kalagan" or "Kaagan" or "Kagan: the name came from the native word
    "Kaag", which means "fellow" and the other meaning is "to inform" or
    "secrecy" because they are the people who bring the news and warn their
    neighbouring tribes ( the Mansaka and Mandayas) on any types of attacks
    from the other ethnic groups since they are living on shorelines and river
    deltas of Davao Gulf, on which they are the first one who can encounter on
    whatever attacks or conquering happen. They were historically composed
    of small groups led by datus.[
    The Kagan subgroup is the Islamized-indigenous people in the Davao Gulf
    area. They are one of the Muslim minority groups in Mindanao and belong
    to the 13 Muslim Moro tribes of the Bangsamoro family. They became
    Muslim in the middle of the 19th century due to extensive exposure or
    contact with the communities of their Maguindanaon neighbors, and
    «
    intermarriages between Kalagan and Maguindanaons.[3] Thus making
    Islamized Kagan heavily influenced by Maguindanaon culture.
    MANDAYA
    tribe
    The Mandaya tribes refers to a
    number of indigenous groups
    found along the mountain
    ranges of Davao Oriental,
    Davao del Norte, and Surigao
    del Sur. They are also recorded
    to be present in Mount
    Kampalili, in the highlands of
    eastern Mindanao.
    “Mandaya” derives from the prefix man meaning “inhabitant of” and
    “daya” meaning upstream” or “upper portion of a river,” and therefore
    means “people living upstream. In 1988, the total number of registered
    Mandaya was about 33,000, with about 22,000 of them living in Davao
    Oriental alone.
    Some of Mandaya’s features are high foreheads, prominent cheekbones,
    broad noses, thick lips and angular features.

    There are 5 principal groups of Mandaya:


    • Mansaka (living in mountain clearings),
    • Manwaga (living in forested mountain areas),
    • Pagsupan (living in swampy banks of Tagum and Hijo rivers,
    • Managusan (living near the water)
    • and Divavaogan (found in the southern and western parts of
    Compostela valley).
