I. PROVINCE :
Bukidnon
Capital : Malaybalay
II. HISTORY

According to oral history of the indigenous people of Bukidnon,

there were four main tribes in Central Mindanao: the Maranaos who dwell in
Lanao del Sur, and the Maguindanao, Manobo and Talaandig tribes who
respectively inhabit the eastern, southern, and north-central portions of the
original province of Cotabato. When the civil government divided central
Mindanao into provinces at the turn of the 20th century, the groups included
in the province of Bukidnon are the Talaandig and the Manobo, as well as
other smaller Lumad tribes. The Visayans, particularly the Cebuanos and
the Hiligaynons from the Northern Mindanao coastline and the
southern Visayas, migrated into the province. The Visayans are still referred
to by the Lumad as the dumagat ("sea people") to distinguish them from the
original mountain tribes.This was followed by various groups from Luzon,
namely, the Ilocanos, the Igorots and the Ivatans, many of whom were
merchants and wealthy businessmen. All contributed massive acculturation
among the indigenous tribes. Most of those who moved to the mountains and
forest continued to hold on their ancestors’ cultural heritage. The wide variety
of Filipino groups now thrives in the province and contributed immensely in
the socio-economic development.

III. DIALECT/LANGUAGE
The lingua franca of the region is Cebuano. Also spoken, although
at low percentages, are Higaonon, Bukid, Ilianen, Matigsalug,
Hiligaynon, Maranao, Iranun, Ilocano, and Waray. English is generally
understood and is widely used in schools, business and government offices.

IV. HOW TO GET THERE

 There are 6 ways to get from Mall of Asia to Bukidnon by plane,
taxi, bus, car ferry or bus and ferry.

V. CULTURE
Pamuhat is the generic term for ceremonies propitiating the spirits
through prayers and sacrifices of food and/or drink. The principal Bukidnon
celebration was kaliga ( kaliga-on ) at harvest time, but today the fiesta
serves as a substitute.
