(Manobo Song)

Ancestral Land
Lyrics by Romanito Badiang

Original document

I.
We are the tribal Filipinos
Faithful to our culture
Since time immemorial
Living in the mountains peacefully
No one is oppressed
But now there are big changes
Because we the tribal people
We have been looked down at

II.
Because they say we are uneducated
Without skills
That is why they say
It is just to grab our land
Let us protect

III. Chorus
Let us protect
The ancestral land
Let us protect
