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).

Itneg peopleThe Itneg (exonym "Tinguian" or "Tingguian") are an Austronesian ethnic group from the upland province of Abra in northwestern Luzon, Philippines. The Itneg live in the mountainous area of Abra in northwestern Luzon who descended from immigrants from Kalinga, Apayao, and the Northern Kankana-ey. They refer to themselves as Itneg, though the Spanish called them Tingguian when they came to the Philippines because they are mountain dwellers.

Culte des ancêtresLe culte des ancêtres est une pratique commune à beaucoup de religions. Abandonné sous sa forme initiale dans de nombreux endroits, ce type de culte subsiste à Madagascar, en Chine, au Viêt Nam, en Corée du Sud, au Mexique, ou en Europe à travers un syncrétisme avec le christianisme. Les religions orientales ont intégré depuis l'origine le culte des ancêtres.

BatokBatok, batek, patik, or batik, among other names, are general terms for indigenous tattoos of the Philippines. Tattooing on both sexes was practiced by almost all ethnic groups of the Philippine Islands during the pre-colonial era. Like in other Austronesian groups, these tattoos were made traditionally with hafted tools tapped with a length of wood (called the "mallet"). Each ethnic group had specific terms and designs for tattoos, which are also often the same designs used in other artforms and decorations like in pottery and weaving.
Subanon peopleThe Subanon (also spelled Subanen or Subanun) is an indigenous group to the Zamboanga peninsula area, particularly living in the mountainous areas of Zamboanga del Sur and Misamis Occidental, Mindanao Island, Philippines. The Subanon people speak Subanon languages. The name is derived from the word soba or suba, a word common in Sulu, Visayas, and Mindanao, which means "river", and the suffix -nun or -non, which indicates a locality or place of origin. Accordingly, the name Subanon means "a person or people of the river".
Bontoc peopleThe Bontoc (or Bontok) ethnolinguistic group can be found in the central and eastern portions of Mountain Province, in the Philippines. Although some Bontocs of Natonin and Paracelis identify themselves as Balangaos, Gaddangs or Kalingas, the term "Bontoc" is used by linguists and anthropologists to distinguish speakers of the Bontoc language from neighboring ethnolinguistic groups. They formerly practiced head-hunting and had distinctive body tattoos. The Bontoc live in a mountainous territory, particularly close to the Chico River and its tributaries.
