People
The population of Tabuk is a mix of different Kalinga cultures and languages.
The two barangays of Bulanao and Dagupan are the centers of commerce and trade for Tabuk, and the focus of economic activity for most areas of Kalinga. People from southern Kalinga usually go to Bontoc rather than Tabuk, and people from Rizal municipality usually go Tuguegarao rather than Tabuk.
Merchants from Ilocos, Pangasinan, Cagayan, and other nearby provinces, come to Bulanao and Dagupan to purchase rice, which is the major agricultural product of Kalinga, and sell other commodities, especially seafood, clothing, fabric, metal and plastic manufactures. The language of the market place is Ilocano.
