BAGOBOS 



On the west side of the Gulf of Davao, a deep indentation on the south coast of Mindanao, the large island at the south of the 

 group forming the Philippines, live a primitive tribe called the Bagobos. They are remarkable for their picturesque costumes which 

 are always gay with beads, bells and embroidery. Living in small villages, under chiefs called datos, they raise in their forest 

 clearings, maize, rice and a very fine quality of hemp. The Bagobo men are remarkable for their effeminate profile and are with 

 difficulty distinguished from the women.
