Meaning Prior to year 100 to Year 1370, There is no muslim tribe in Mindanao Island, no islam faith in
the archipelago.. . The Maranao, Tausug, Maguindanao, Subanen, Kamayo and Mandaya tribes believes
the same God called Bathala the creator of the universe.. They also believe the sames gods, the moon,

major crops producing areas

- Gingoog, Camiguin and Basilan islands are the center of fishing for the Subanen tribe .
