What is the ethnicity of Philippines?
We have lots of ethnic groups in the Philippines, including indigenous and non-indigenous. The term Filipino is not really an "ethnicity" but an ethno-nationality. There are 174 ethno-linguistic groups in the Philippines. The three majority ethnic groups are the Tagalogs and Ilocanos and from Luzon and the Cebunaos from Visayas and Mindanao, the Cebuano ethnic group is part of the Visayan group, a large collection of ethnicities native to the islands of Visayas. Despite being Visayan, Cebuanos make up the majority in Mindanao which has upset the Moros and Lumads of Mindanao. Other ethnicities in the Visayan group are the Bikols and Waray-Warays.The Moros are the Muslim natives of Mindanao and the Lumads are the non-Muslim natives of Mindanao. The Maguindanaoans, Maranaoans, Ilanuns, Yakans, Samals, Bajau and Tausug are part of the Moro group, they live in Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago with a small minority living in southern Palawan. Some of the Lumads include the B'laan and T'boli people.The Negritos include the indigenous black populations of the Philippines, this would include the Aeta people. They are descended from the earliest Austronesian migrants from Africa.
What are the different kind of people in Mindanao?
Particular to Mindanao is the existence of three types of people: the Lumads (indigenous people), the Filipinos (Christians) and the Moros (Islamised Lumads). Almost equally, they comprise 25% of the 65 million national population with the Filipino settlers as the more predominant. The emergence of these types goes back to the Spanish colonisation period. Mindanao was, then, predominantly Muslim, who resisted the former Spanish colonisers. In the late forties and the fifties the government opened up the island for homesteads. The influx of Filipinos from the other regions of Luzon and the Visayas pushed back the Lumads to the mountains and opened hostilities between the Moros and settlers. Finally, the Moros organised themselves into revolutionary groups like the MNLF and MILF. However, the MNLF signed a peace agreement with the government in 1996. The poverty level in Mindanao is very serious, here there are 14 out of the 20 poorest provinces in the country. A yardstick of the region's poverty is the departure of 2.4 million migrant workers to different parts of the world to work as domestic helpers. This figure continues to increase annually. Regions predominantly occupied by the Lumads and Moros have a relatively lower literacy rate compared to that of areas dominated by Filipino settlers. Fifty-four percent of the 400 municipalities have no doctors and 73% of the over 16 million population need safe drinking water. Yet, of the 19% national budget for social services, only 22% goes to Mindanao. (pp. 3-4) The Lumads Not considering the Moros, who are Islamised Lumads, there are 17 Lumad ethnic groups spread out in 19 provinces (according to the Lumad Development Center Inc). Of the 17, six have a population of 200,000 to 300,000. (Table below). Lumad Ethnic Group Population: 1. Subanen 311,000 2. Mandaya/Mansaka 300,000 3. Manuvu 250,000 4. B'laan 250,000 5. T'Boli 227,955 6. Teduray 204,080 Since the Spanish colonisation, the Lumads of Mindanao played host to 226 development-generating projects that exploited all major resources of what the Lumads claim as their ancestral domain. Considering 1980 records, there were 110 logging concessions, 92 grazing projects, eight mining concessions, four plantation corporations, four industrial tree plantations, four government reservations and four power generating plants. The Lumad Development Center Inc further claim that over 1,179 million hectares of Lumad ancestral domains have been converted to development projects. In sum, this covers about 11.6% of Mindanao's total land area. This excludes 31 projects and concessions of American and Filipino groups in Davao City that are of unknown coverage. More ancestral lands have opened up to local and foreign investors in the logging and mining industries. Recently, the government released 50,000 hectares of forest land to private investors through the Industrial Forest Management Agreement and another 86,000 hectares to Timber Licensing Agreement.

Legend of maramag?
Maramag from "Ag Ramag" a contracted Manobo term for "Ag Ramag Ki Dini", which as freely translated, means "Let us eat our breakfast here." The story goes that the Manobos were constantly in conflict with the Maranaos for supremacy over the locality. Each time they set out for the battle they would stop on the bank of Pulangi River where flat stones that serve as their tables abound the area. Atop of these, they would draw their plans and eat their breakfast. This habit becomes their practice that even in times of peace and as a sign of good faith, these "Lumads", the natives or early settlers invite others who happen to pass by to partake meals with them. Maramag then was a picnic ground were one can rest and take his meal as a short respite either from travel, trekking, hunting and trapping or from battle. answers.com

Why do some Historians believe that Ophir is the Ancient Name of the Philippines and not Maharlika?
With the debates sparked by the Principalia Theory of Austronesian Theory of Intermigration which basically combines the Bellwood Theory, Solheim Theory and the French study about the 700,000 - year - old rhinoceros excavated in the Philippines, a more relevant debate has emerged among Filipino historians: which one is the historical ancient name of the Philippines, Ophir or Maharlika? The following arguments had been presented by the historians: Foreign historians have identified the Philippines as the Ophir. In Tomo III (1519-1522), pages 112-138, of the book Colección general de documentos relativos a las Islas Filipinas existentes en el Archivo de Indias de Sevilla, found in the General Archive of the Indies in Spain, Document No. 98 describes how to locate the land of Ophir. The navigational guide started from the Cape of Good Hope in Africa to India, to Burma, to Sumatra, to Moluccas, to Borneo, to Sulu, to China, then finally Ophir which is said to be the Philippines. On the other hand, there is no mention of Maharlika in both foreign and Philippine textbooks. The existence of Ophir in the Philippines is supported by the writings of respected Philippine historians like Alcina and Scott centered on Samar island in the Philippines. They mentioned the name of Lawan settlement led by a Hebrew Datu Iberein who heads the lequios tribe locally which the natives call waray hadlok (or no fear in sailing to the seas). Squires Magazine described Datu Iberien as one of the richest ancient rulers of the Philippines in the level of Lakan Bunao Dula of Manila and Sultan Kudarat of Mindanao. Datu Iberein seems to be responsible for naming the third largest island in the Philippines as Samar, in honor of his ancient homeland Samaria. On the other hand, Maharlika was first mentioned as the alias of President Marcos when supposedly he got a medal working as an intelligence officer in the army in the WWll. The name Maharlika is not even in the book commissioned by Marcos himself to rewrite Philippine history, much less in respected history books, and not even in Blair’s book.Maharlika is the basis of claiming back the ill gotten wealth of Marcos as a legitimate source of the so called Marcos gold. It is looked at as a historical laundering of the Marcos ill gotten wealth. The biggest group of Maharlika proponents is the one led by Dr. Julian Canonoy while minor groups seem to be initiated by some Muslims. The Ophir, locally known as the Lakanate of Makarato (Lawan), is in line with the Principalia Theory of Austronesian Intermigration which says that the Rhinoceros Man, Dawn Man and Callao Man in the long years of intermarriages dating back to 700,000 BC which native Filipinos called lumad. These lumads with early intermarriages from Samarian and refugees from other countries evolved a prosperous settlement in Samar and some other places like Butuan, Mactan, Ibalon etc, that scattered people to Taiwan, according to Solheim Theory, as early as 5000 years BC and who went back to the Philippines as early as 2000 BC as lapita people, according to Bellwood Theory, and started to scatter people all over polynesian islands, inward to the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and Madagascar on the guise of looking for gold and metals. On the other hand, Maharlika was not attributed in any intermigration theories but it is being linked by some proponents to the Tallano claim. It seems to be a historical scam perpetuated by people closed to the Marcos family to justify their ill gotten wealth.
