Manguianes

Manguianes, a people of the Philippine archipelago, dominant in the interior of the large island of Mindoro, where they continue to defy the Spanish authorities. Some, however, have entered into friendly relations with the neighbouring Christian communities, while the great bulk are either nominal Mohammedans or pagans. These are the people of whom Careri related, on the report of the Jesuits, that they were furnished with tails four or five inches long. They appear to be of Malay stock crossed with Negrito blood.
