They show a negroid strain and keep themselves in the mountainous interior, living largely in solitary and scattered huts, with even few villages among them. They are the least civilized and least known of the Philippine tribes, are much given to war and head hunting, and life is maintained by such simple occupations as the cultivation of rice, millet and potatoes, hunting and fishing.
The tribe numbers about 3,000.
