About Us
The Tribe’s Origins
Like every indigenous group in the Philippines, the Matigsalug of Davao City are forever intertwined with the culture and history of the locality they reside in. Originally the inhabitants of Salug River (now Davao River), the tribe fittingly named themselves Matigsalug which is coined from matig (place of origin) and salug (river).
Due to the river's length which is estimated to be around 170 kilometers (one of the longest in the entire country), the Matigsalugs have also built a home in other provinces including Bukidnon (Kitaotao and San Fernando), Arakan, Cotabato, and North Cotabato.
The Dream Lives On
The women of the Matigsalug tribe, in the early years, stayed at home while their husbands worked on the farms. But decades later, more women have started to join the workforce with their small businesses to help augment the family income.
Sustainable livelihood is what Matigsalugs have been dreaming of and need. The ingenuity to integrate their culture into their hand-woven tribal costumes, handicrafts, and accessories is a gift their tribe is proud of.
