#BlogItNow👍👣👣: The Bagobo

I cannot deny fact that the people of Bagobo tribe which is my tribe also are very shy. They have no enough confidence to communicate to other people and to travel to other places. But, if there are some people who are going to their place, they are very hospitable. They become very busy when they have visitors from the other places.

The Bagobos are easy to be disappointed. If you are in their place you should always control your mouth for what you are saying. If you say something that can disappoint them, they easily make an action against you. Either they demand you or they ask that you need to give something like a horse, a cow or anything. But I have noticed that not all of the Bagobos have this kind of character. Some of them are humble.

When we talk about the location of the Bagobos, you can’t easily go there when you are in the downtown area. Mostly they are living in the rural area especially in the mountain or in the plane area. The places where they live are in Calinan, Tamayong, Marilog and the rest of Davao. They love to live in the rural because they love to plant any kinds of plants like the vegetables, fruits and more. Since they love to plant, they become a supplier of some products that deliver to downtown.

Aside from that, they have many kinds of tradition that they do. One of their tradition is called "kasalan sa mga Datu". It is a wedding process of the Bagobos which their Datu will settle it. Mostly it happens on the house of the soon to be wife. Most of the couple of the said wedding are teenagers . Their parents will decide if they want their child to be married.

They also have their own way how to dress themselves. They have some tattoos on their bodies. Their neck are full of necklaces. And their hands are full of different kinds of bracelets. The boys are wearing native short and native shirt. While the girls are wearing native pedals and dresses too. They wear their dresses during the special occasion of their tribe.

The Bagobos are very talented also, they are very good in dancing and even singing.

Today, they can interact other people because of the influence of education. Numbers of the Bagobos are professional now a days. Some are now participating beauty pageant, politics and more.

This tribe must need to be preserve because this is one of the important tribe that part of the city of Davao.
