Kapampangan people

The Kapampangan people (Kapampangan: Taung Kapampangan), also known

as Pampangueos or Pampangos, are the seventh largest ethnolinguistic
group in the Philippines, numbering about 2.89 million. They live mainly in
the provinces of Pampanga, Bataan and Tarlac, as well as Bulacan, Nueva
Ecija and Zambales.
The province of Pampanga is traditional homeland of the Kapampangans.
Once occupying a vast stretch of land that extended from Tondo[1] to the
rest of Central Luzon, huge chunks of territories were carved out of
Pampanga so as to create the provinces of Bulacan, Bataan, Nueva Ecija,
Aurora and Tarlac.[2] As a result, Kapampangans now populate a region that
extends beyond the political boundaries of the small province of Pampanga.
In the province of Tarlac, the indigenous population of Tarlac City and the
municipalities of Bamban, Capas and Concepcion are Kapampangans, while
the municipalities of Victoria, La Paz, have a significant Kapampangan
population. In Bataan, Kapampangans populate the municipalities
of Dinalupihan and Hermosa,
and
the barangays of Mabatang in Abucay and Calaguiman in Samal.
Kapampangans can be found scattered all across the southern barrios of
Cabiao in the province of Nueva Ecija and in the western section of the
province of Bulacan. Kapampangan enclaves still exist in Tondo and other
parts of the National Capital Region. Kapampangans have also migrated
to Mindoro, Palawanand Mindanao and have formed strong Kapampangan
organizations
called aguman in Davao
City and General
Santos
City.
Agumans based in the United States and Canada are active in the revival of
the Kapampangan language and culture. California-based organizations

promoted Kapampangan language and culture and raised funds for

charitable and cultural projects in California and in Pampanga.

Sama-Bajau peoples

"Sama-Bajau" redirects here. For the languages, see Sama-Bajaw languages.

Not to be confused with Samma, an unrelated ethnic group in Pakistan and
India.
The Sama-Bajau refers to several Austronesian ethnic groups of Maritime
Southeast Asia with their origins from the southern Philippines. The name
collectively refers to related people who usually call themselves
the Sama or Samah; or are known by the exonyms Bajau(/bda, b-/,
also
spelled Badjao, Bajaw, Badjau, Badjaw, Bajo or Bayao)
and Samal or Siyamal (the latter being considered offensive). They usually
live a seaborne lifestyle, and use small wooden sailing vessels such as
the perahu (layag in Meranau), djenging, balutu, lepa, pilang,
and vinta (or lepa-lepa).[5] Some Sama-Bajau groups native to Sabah are
also known for their traditional horse culture.
The Sama-Bajau are traditionally from the many islands of the Sulu
Archipelago in the Philippines, coastal areas of Mindanao, northern and
eastern Borneo, the Celebes, and throughout eastern Indonesian islands.
[6] In the Philippines, they are grouped together with the religiously-

similar Moro people. Within the last 50 years, many of the Filipino SamaBajau have migrated to neighbouring Malaysia and the northern islands of
the Philippines, due to the conflict in Mindanao.[7][8] As of 2010, they were
the second-largest ethnic group in the Malaysian state of Sabah.

Pangasinan people

The Pangasinan people (Pangasinan: Totoon Pangasinan), also known

as Pangasinenses are
the
eighth
largest ethnolinguistic
group in
the Philippines, numbering about 1.50 million. They live mainly in
the provinces of Pangasinan, La Union and Tarlac, as well as Benguet, Nueva
Ecijaand Zambales.
The name Pangasinan means "land of salt" or "place of salt-making". It is
derived from asin, the word for "salt" in Pangasinan. The Pangasinan people
are referred as Pangasinense or taga-Pangasinan, which means "from
Pangasinan". The term Pangasinan can also refer to the indigenous speakers
of the Pangasinan language or people of Pangasinan heritage.
The estimated population of the Pangasinan people in the province of
Pangasinan is 2.5 million. The Pangasinan people are also living in the
neighboring provinces of Tarlac and La Union (which used to be parts of
Pangasinan Province), Benguet, Nueva Ecija and Zambales, as well as in
Pangasinan communities in the Philippines and overseas.
