Introduction

The Iraya people

The Island of Mindoro in the Philippines is rather unique in that although it is less than 100 miles north to south, it has 6 individual tribal groups, each with its own identity, language, and traditions. The northernmost group is the Iraya, who occupy primarily back-country and mountain areas from Mt Calavite on the north-west tip of Mindoro to the northern slopes of 8,400ft Bundok Syaldang (Mt Halcon).

This area includes the Municipalities of Paluan, Abra de Ilog, Mamburao, Puerto Galera, San Teodoro, and Baco^. There are also significant numbers of Iraya in Calapan City, and other towns.

Iraya are strong, intelligent, industrious, and cheerful people, with a deep knowledge of plants and trees. They typically have curly hair, and noses wide and flat rather than tall and narrow. Many are Christian, others Animist.

Language

The Iraya language is unique in the region in having singular, dual, and plural pronouns and verb forms. Dr Colin E Tweddell commented that it seems more related to Tagalog than to the other Mindoro languages [see Iraya Phonology & Syntax . .]. The word "iraya" means 'people', 'man/woman' (Tagalog 'tao').

The Iraya population in the 50's & 60's was estimated to be 5,000 to 7,000 total. Today perhaps 12,000 to 16,000 or more. -TET
