    The Subanon people are the original settlers of the Zamboanga peninsula in Misamis Occidental province in the Philippines. They lived in the mountains of Mount Malindang and had a patriarchal family structure led by a chief called a Timuay who served as a village judge handling communal matters. As pirates raided the coastal areas, the Subanon retreated further inland over time and other groups like those from Bukidnon, Cebu and Bohol settled the coast instead.

    SUBANON

    The Subanon people of Misamis Occidental living in the mountains of Mount


    Malindang.

    The Subanons are the first settlers of the Zamboanga peninsula. The family is
    patriarchal while the village is led by a chief called a Timuay. He acts as the
    village judge and is concerned with all communal matters.
    History has better words to speak for Misamis Occidental. Its principal city was
    originally populated by the Subanon, a cultural group that once roamed the
    seas in great number; the province was an easy prey to the marauding sea
    pirates of Lanao whose habit was to stage lightning forays along the coastal
    areas in search of slaves. As the Subanon retreated deeper and deeper into the
    interior, the coastal areas became home to inhabitants from Bukidnon who
    were steadily followed by settlers from nearby Cebu and Bohol.
