The Mansaka Tribe of Maragusan, Davao de Oro

Deep within the breathtaking landscapes of Maragusan, Davao de Oro, the Mansaka tribe holds a rich cultural heritage that spans generations. As one of the indigenous communities in the region, the Mansaka people are known for their intricate craftsmanship, agricultural practices, and deep spiritual connections to the land.
