These groups ranged from various [[Igorot]] tribes, a group that includes the Bontoc, Ibaloi, Ifugao, Isneg, Kalinga, Kankana-ey and Tinguian, who built the [[Rice Terraces]]. They also covered a wide spectrum in terms of their integration and acculturation with lowland Christian and Muslim Filipinos. Native groups such as the [[Bukidnon]] in [[Mindanao]], had intermarried with lowlanders for almost a century. Other groups such as the [[Kalinga]] in Luzon have remained isolated from lowland influence.

Other mountain peoples of Luzon are the [[Isneg]]s of northern Kalinga-Apayao province, the [[Gaddang]]s of the border between Kalinga-Apayao, and [[Isabela province]]s and the [[Ilongot people|Ilongots]] of [[Nueva Vizcaya province]] and [[Caraballo Mountains]] all developed hunting and gathering, farming cultivation and [[headhunting]]. Other indigenous people such as the [[Negrito]]s formerly dominated the highlands throughout the islands for thousands of years, but have been reduced to a small population, living in widely scattered locations, primarily along the eastern ranges of the mountains.

In the southern Philippines, upland and lowland tribal groups were concentrated on Mindanao and western [[Visayas]], although there are several indigenous groups such as the [[Mangyan]] living in [[Mindoro]]. Among the most important groups found on Mindanao are collectively called the [[Lumad]], and includes the [[Manobo]], Bukidnon of [[Bukidnon province]], [[Bagobo]], [[Mandaya]], [[Mansaka]],[[Tagakaulo]] in who inhabited the mountains bordering the [[Davao Gulf]]; the '''Kalagan''' lives particularly in lowland area and seashore of Davao Del Sur, the [[Subanon people|Subanon]] of upland areas in [[Zamboanga (province)|Zamboanga]]; the [[Mamanua]] in the Agusan-Surigao border region; the [[B"laan]], [[Teduray]] and [[Tboli]] in the region of the [[Cotabato province]], and the [[Samal people|Samal]].  Samal is synonymous with Luwa'an. Yakan is the indigenous tribe in the hinterlands of Basilan Province.  In the lowland lives the Sama Banguingui tribe while in coastal areas there leave the nomadic Luwa'an. Sulu lowland areas are also home of the Sama Banguingui. The Sama or the Sinama and the Jama Mapun are the indigenous tribes in the province of Tawi-Tawi.

The Philippines is populated by indigenous peoples. Through the years some indigenous groups fused into the modern world and disregarded their ethnicity. Other races (Europeans, Middle-easterns, Africans, main land asians, and more) married into the indigenous races of the Philippines creating the most beautiful people in Asia.

The indigenous peoples of the Philippines embraced many religions. The religions do not make the indigenous people. A form of religion must never be confused for who the indigenous people are.
