| General Note |
- General note - Manpatilan was the political and religious chief of the Higaonon when this photo was taken: he had authority over some 100 Higaonon tribal datus scattered among seven sub-provinces in Bukidnon, Davao, and Agusan. In 1971 Panamin Secretary Manuel Elizalde officially crowned him high chief. Manpatilan, meaning "he who cuts," is the ruler of some 100 Higaonon tribal datus scattered among 7 sub-provinces in Bukidnon, Davao and Agusan with a growing population of 4,000. Last June, 1971, he was officially crowned "high chief" by Panamin Secretary Manuel Elizalde with all his subject datus, tribal heads and government leaders attending. Aged 67, he has 5 wives and 30 children. A polygamous Higaonon may either have one house with individual subdivisions for each wife, or wives may live with their own family group. Occasionally a wife of this latter kind will visit her husband or vice-versa. The datu is one who has successfully protected the interests of his immediate blood relations. The word of his good work spreads, he acquires fame and becomes in demand as a negotiator. In return for such services his clients give him a share of the articles that have been paid as fines, the products of their clearings and the title of datu. The datu''s crowning achievement was his meeting with President Marcos last July 1970, when he asked for a reservation of 2000 hectares for his people. As protector, he has killed about 14 people who wronged him and his immediate family. This is shown by his red headgear, locally called sulang-sulang. As a religious head, he is known to keep contacts with the "Diwatas," or spirits.
