5. History of Badjao In the Philippines, the Badjao tribe may be found in Zamboanga and Sulu, where they live above water and are known as Sea Nomads or Sea Gypsies. Because the inhabitants of this ethnolinguistic group in Mindanao are also skilled swimmers, the sea is their primary source of income. The Badjao are a tribe of boat people from the Indonesian province of Johore who currently live in houseboats off the coast of Southern Mindanao in the Philippines. Some became pirates and wandered the waters in pursuit of glory, while others became fisherman.

6. History of Badjao The Badjao are a peaceful tribal people that live near the sea in the Philippines' Mindanao area. Despite the fact that their forefathers were originally dreaded by many in the region, they are today regarded as pleasant and peaceful. Conflict with rival tribes is frequently resolved by fleeing to other locations, such as the sea. Because of their harsh climate and manner of life, their bronze-colored hair and dark brown skin set them apart from other tribes. In ancestor worship, Filipino seamen present cigarettes and food to the ghosts of their departed ancestors. Offerings are offered to the God of the Sea, the Omboh Dilaut , whenever a significant catch of fish is brought in, and a "spirit boat" is cast adrift in the open sea. In times of epidemics, mediums are also relied upon to remove illness-causing ghosts from this boat-dwelling society.

7. History of Badjao The Badjao are sea nomads by custom, travelling by boat from one island to the next in quest of a fishing catch. However, due to overfishing by other groups utilizing high-tech fishing trawlers and dynamite fishing, their survival in the open oceans is dwindling. They continue to explore the waterways in small, family-owned bancas, fighting the tide to pursue schools of fish and looking for the wealth of the ocean. Despite idealized depictions of the tribe, life was never simple for the Badjao . The sea guardians have seen firsthand that circumstances are difficult on the sea, but even more so on land. In most regions of Mindanao, their lively nomadic culture, the way of life left to them by their ancestors, has perished.

8. History of Badjao For decades, the Badjao have been a stubborn tribal people, pushing civilization away with both hands. However, as they are buffeted by contemporary winds, they will have to find methods to protect their own lifestyle and culture.

9. INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE BADJAO .

10. SEA DWELLERS IN THE 21ST CENTURY They are indigenous to the Philippines, where they have resided since at least 500AD. Over the last 50 years, population growth has severely depleted fish sources, leaving people without a means of subsistence. Uneducated and sometimes shunned by the larger population, the Badjao struggle to thrive in contemporary society.

11. THE PLIGHT OF CHILDREN Children in a normal seaside town frequently play and swim in water intended for human waste disposal. This causes a variety of health problems, including gastrointestinal disorders, eye illnesses, and skin infections such as scabies. Walking on the elevated stilt walkways injures and occasionally kills children. Children are especially exposed to economic hardship. Their only way out is education, which many Badjao households cannot afford.

12. CHILD SLAVERY AND SEX TRAFFICKING With no other choices available to families on the verge of hunger, children are often taken to adjacent towns to beg. Begging frequently gives a family with just enough resources to get by for the day. Because families rely on this minimal revenue, children are effectively compelled to beg for up to 12 hours every day. When children are unable to attend school, the cycle of poverty takes root in the community. Sex trafficking frequently preys on the most vulnerable, and these criminal organizations are increasingly putting pressure on Badjao tribes. Tribes are targeted and provided ostensibly genuine work opportunities that send their young boys and girls to distant islands.

13. CORRUPTION, OPPRESSION, AND INJUSTICE Recent legislative amendments have outright prohibited any fishing, sustainable or otherwise, in places where Badjao have fished for millennia. Every night, desperate for food, young men risk their lives and their boats by fishing in these seas. Badjao men have lost their lives as well as their boats as a result of the simple act of fishing. Badjao seeking alternative income have sought to create and sell handcrafted pearl strands to visitors. Certain groups and people, however, have hampered these attempts. Their wares are sometimes confiscated, devastating families who have spent their whole resources on pearl supply.

14. M ODE OF DRESSING In terms of culture, religion, and attire, many Badjao of the east coast preserve their seaborne lifestyle, as well as elements of old pre-Islamic beliefs. In terms of clothing, the traditional Badjao costume is the " patadjong ," which serves several functions. They are created to fit everyone and are used by both men and women as a skirt or gown tucked at the chest. It can be used as a head cover, waistline, sash, blanket, hammock, shoulder bag, cradle, pouch, hood, or cushion. A " sablay " is a loose-fitting sleeveless shirt that reaches down to the hips. A " simpay " (band) defines the front opening and continues from a little collar to the rear. Jewelry and colorful combs are classic female accessories. The most popular ornament is the bracelet. Pendants, earrings, rings, necklaces, and anklets are some more types of jewelry.

15. TRADITIONAL DANCE The Badjao tribe of Zambales has its own cultural and traditional dance. The dance they'd borrowed from the Samal tribe of Sulu was ' Igal , Pangalay , or Janggay .' Dancers' hair should be bunned , however it is sometimes acceptable to let it flow loose. To add a twist to the traditional dance, they wear ' janggay ' to their hands, which enhances and magnifies the dancers' hands. To give a variation to the traditional Pangalay , they utilize ' janggay ' and wear it on their hands to highlight and enlarge the dancers' hands while performing this traditional dance.

16. BADJAO LANGUAGE Northern Sinama , Central Sinama , and Southern Sinama are the most popular of the seven Sinama groupings based on mutual intelligibility. These divisions are rarely acknowledged by Sama, who instead identify their Sinama according to the village or island from where they come. Sinama is the Badjao language that is utilized in their communication.

17. SUPERSTITIOUS BELIEFS Badjao , often known as Sea Gypsies, have peculiar beliefs. Believes that where the spirits of the deceased are stored in a grave and every Shaaban, the soul is permitted to return to our world. They also believe that via ceremonial rites of celebration, adoration, and exorcism, the dead may speak with the living.

18. SUPERSTITIOUS BELIEFS

19. Despite their persecution, the Badjao tribe is realizing that they have the same right to a better future as other Filipino cultures. Acceptance will come from others around them as their confidence and self-belief improve. I believe we may begin to live in solidarity and avoid stereotyping as soon as we broaden our viewpoints, participate in mutual understanding, and begin projecting ourselves into the lives of others.
