GOVERNOR GENEROSO HISTORY

Thepre-Spanish period of Davao Oriental, that's before 1521, is marked by a veritably primitive way of life, deification, culture, customs and traditions. Davao Oriental is peopled by the Indigenous people since time history before the coming of the Muslims and the Christian Spaniards.

They were known as Mandaya, Mansaka, Mamanua, Manobo, Mangguangan, Tagacaulo and Kalagan or Kagan. They were positioned near the props of the Pacific Ocean, some near the gutters, while others were in the timbers. The swash receptacle came their center of transportation. Some make their houses up the trees for security reasons from the adversaries due to the bagani system of governance. Their cycle of survival/ food is dependent on a veritably primitive husbandry, fishing, and utmost presumably a little quantum of trade trade, if there was any. Their cycle of deification is centered on diwata system. Among themselves were singled out blessed women of good standing in the community, and they were chosen as balyans (the dancing princesses) and the catalunans (the singing princesses). From then on, we can draw an observation that LUMADs were paternalistic (of mannish influence) when it comes to governance (with the citation of bagani, datu,, rajah, etc) while the LUMADs were maternalistic (of womanlike influence) when it comes to worship (with the citation of princesses like the balyans and the catalunans).

The Mandayas are close to nature. In fact, they worship close to nature, for their love of the Mother Earth. Their primitive husbandry is grounded on “ kaingin”. and, characterized by a vagrant attributes, they transferred from one place to the other, looking for the stylish soil for planting. Utmost men of the lines were also indulging in hunting called “ pangayam”.

Returning home, they're happy to partake whatever quest they gathered for they're generous with one another. In the LUMAD community, everybody has commodity to partake and to offer. They make their apparel from the abaca fiber called “ dagmay”. They've rituals to follow from the gathering of accoutrements up to the weaving time. Only professed persons are blessed in the dagmay weaving. They've their own cotillion, music, musical instruments, ornamentals, and system of marriage rituals. In general, the whole eastern Mindanao is a place of solitariness, deification, and primitive way of life. The whole region of Mindanao is composed of about twenty-three to twenty five lines. Davao Oriental Province is inhabited by about five indigenous lines as mentioned over, like the mandaya, mansaka, manubo, tagacaulo, calagan.

There's atri-pod of the faith of the Mandayas God ( called the Tagallang, Magbabaya, Mansilatan), Nature, and Man.

The Mandayas believe on God and has a deep respect to nature especially the land. The land is sacred and holy. Man will die but the land remains. In principle, the Mandaya believes that land isn't to be possessed because man is only a slavey. The Mandaya has high respects to women proven by the part of the balyans ( dancing goddess) and the catalunans (singing goddess) in the community.

The LUMAD artistic cotillion reveals the sacredness of the land; they use barefoot in dancing to express their nearness and closeness to the land; they've a cotillion in moments of joy, sadness, and abomination. They chant “ dawot” to retell stories of the history by oral tradition.

The challenge of the LUMAD culture to survive requirements cooperation and sincere mindfulness and systems from the Church and the Government.

The Spanish Period

Upon the appearance of the Spaniards in Announcement 1521 headed by the Portuguese Conquistador Ferdinand Magellan, with his annalist “ Pigafetta”, this southeastern part of Mindanao was called “ Calaghan Island”. And according to the annalist Combes, its etymology comes from the word “ Calag” which means “ spirit or soul) thus, “ Calaghan islet” is an islet of “ spirited” men. That’s why in the seventeenth century the whole home of Caraga Province created in Announcement 1609 from Surigao to Sigaboy, was called “ regio de gente animosa”, that is, “ region of spirited- men”. This valorous enmity was proven by the well known “ Caraga Revolt”, a native Caragans’ insurrection against the moro raids and the Spanish violent denotation.

But who were the people living in these Calaghan Island? By observation, thus, what comes incontinently to our imagination, is the first occupants of this islet who were the mandaya, mansaka, manubo, mamanua, mangguangan, tagacaulo, etc. They were called always as “ caragans or calaghans!” At the turn of the centuries, our muslim counterparts of this islet maintain and applied it as an “ exclusive name” to their muslim lineage; but similar was an “ inclusive name” of the lines in the veritably morning.
