History of the Ibanag people
The word “Ibanag” derives from the prefix “I” meaning “native resident
people of” and “bannag” “river” and thus means “ people of the
river”, an apt name for the people who settled along the banks of the
Cagayan Riv which constitutes the longest river system in the country.
The Ibanag , also known as Ibanac, Ybanag, Cagayan, and
Cagayanes, are group of people who settled along the Cagayan
River, the longest river system in the Philippines. They found in various
provinces, with a total population of 500,000 in 2022. The Ibanag
language gained prominence as a lingua franca among the Ibanag,
Gaddang, Yogad, and Aeta due to the Dominican order’s
evangelization efforts. It is also used as a second language by the
Agta.
It is believed that Ibanag originally settled near the Northern end of
Cagayan River. It was only during the Spanish period in the late 16 th
century when they began to resettle along the banks of the southern
parts of Cagayan River as far as what would later be known as Isabela.
