Surigao City: Mamanwa Tribe (Mat-i)

Mamanwa which means "First Forest Dwellers" derived from "man" (first) and "banwa" (forest). But they are popularly called Kongking because of their kinky hair. Let the pictures tell you more of the story. :)

Planning to visit Surigao City? I really suggest you visit Surigao City Tourism Office (it's in Luneta. easy to find) so the friendly staff can set-up your itinerary based on your preferred activities, schedule, and budget. They can also setup your transportation and hook you up to the best tour guides in town.
