Who are the Tagbanua People and their rich cultural heritage?
The Tagbanua People are a group of indigenous people in the Philippines who have lived in the Palawan region for centuries. They have managed to preserve their culture and traditions despite facing challenges brought on by modernization and external influences. Their language, Tagbanua, is also in danger of extinction with only a few remaining speakers.  The Tagbanua People are known for their unique craftsmanship, particularly in weaving, woodcarving, and basket-making. They also practice subsistence farming, fishing, and hunting. The Tagbanua have a deep respect for nature and the environment, and their way of life is closely tied to the land and sea.  Through community-based tourism, the Tagbanua People are now able to showcase their heritage and earn income while promoting conservation efforts in their territories.
