T'bolisLes T'bolis sont une tribu animiste, vivant autour du lac Sebu, au sud de Mindanao dans la province de Cotabato aux Philippines. Les T'bolis se seraient installés dans ce secteur de forêts denses et de montagnes découpées, il y a à peu près deux mille ans et ont vécu totalement isolés du reste du monde jusque dans les années 1970. En 1997, les T'bolis comptaient un peu plus de soixante mille personnes, vivant de la chasse, de la pêche, de l'agriculture, mais aussi du tissage et de l'orfèvrerie.
DatuDatu is a title which denotes the rulers (variously described in historical accounts as chiefs, sovereign princes, and monarchs) of numerous indigenous peoples throughout the Philippine archipelago. The title is still used today, though not as much as early Philippine history. It is a cognate of ratu in several other Austronesian languages. Barangay state and History of the Philippines (900-1565) In early Philippine history, datus and a small group of their close relatives formed the "apex stratum" of the traditional three-tier social hierarchy of lowland Philippine societies.
LumadThe Lumad are a group of Austronesian indigenous people in the southern Philippines. It is a Cebuano term meaning "native" or "indigenous". The term is short for Katawhang Lumad (Literally: "indigenous people"), the autonym officially adopted by the delegates of the Lumad Mindanao Peoples Federation (LMPF) founding assembly on 26 June 1986 at the Guadalupe Formation Center, Balindog, Kidapawan, Cotabato, Philippines. Usage of the term was accepted in Philippine jurisprudence when President Corazon Aquino signed into law Republic Act 6734, where the word was used in Art.
Ethnic groups in the PhilippinesThe Philippines is inhabited by more than 182 ethnolinguistic groups, many of which are classified as "Indigenous Peoples" under the country's Indigenous Peoples' Rights Act of 1997. Traditionally-Muslim peoples from the southernmost island group of Mindanao are usually categorized together as Moro peoples, whether they are classified as Indigenous peoples or not. About 142 are classified as non-Muslim Indigenous People groups, and about 19 ethnolinguistic groups are classified as neither indigenous nor moro.
BisayaOn appelle Bisaya les populations des régions centrale et méridionale des Philippines. Plus de 40 % des Philippins sont d'origine Bisaya. Les Bisaya appellent leurs langues respectives binisaya. Sur le plan linguistique, on appelle langues bisayas un sous-groupe dans le rameau des langues philippines de la branche malayo-polynésienne des langues austronésiennes. Les principales langues de ce sous-groupe sont le cebuano, l'ilongo, le waray-waray et le tausug. Il ne faut pas confondre les Bisaya des Philippines avec les , dans le nord de l'île de Bornéo.
AustronésiensOn appelle Austronésiens les membres des populations parlant des langues austronésiennes. Un usage plus ancien est celui de malayo-polynésiens, mais aujourd’hui, l’expression « langues malayo-polynésiennes » ne désigne plus que l'une des branches de la famille austronésienne, quoique de loin la plus nombreuse ( sur un total de austronésiennes). Certains chercheurs utilisent, comme équivalent de malayo-polynésien, le terme de « nusantarien » (de nusantara, ancien mot javanais signifiant « îles de l’extérieur », qui désignait à l'origine les îles de l’archipel indonésien autres que Java).

Names of the Philippines The name Filipino, as a demonym, was derived from the term las Islas Filipinas , the name given to the archipelago in 1543 by the Spanish explorer and Dominican priest Ruy López de Villalobos, in honor of Philip II of Spain.
