There are 3 major ethnic groups of people

in Cagayan: the Ybanags, Itawits and

Malawegs. The Ybanags, the dominant
group, are known to be the tallest among
the ethno-linguistic groups all over the
Philippines.
Isabela’s population is composed mainly of
Ilokanos because of their migration yaers
ago. The second largest ethno-linguistic
group is the Ibanags, the same people
found in Batanes. Gaddangs, Yogads, Agtas,
and other Negrito groups also compose of
the population in Isabela.
The Nueva Vizcaya provinnce was once
dominated by tribes such as Igorots,
Ifugaos, Ilongots, Aetas, Gaddangs, and the
Maalats. But due to the rise in migrants
over the province, it is now dominated by
the Ilocanos, Tagalogs, Pangasinenses,
Kapampangans and other groups.
Quirino is the youngest among the
provinces in Region II. Most of its residents
in the lowlands are Ilokanos. There also
indigenous groups who live in the
mountains or scattered among its
municipalities such as the Ilongots,
Kankana-ey, Inibaloi, and Agtas.
