The Badjaos
Uploaded: August 25, 2008
The Badjaos are popularly known as the "Sea Gypsies" of the Sulu and Celebes sea. The name Badjao is a Malay-Bornean word which connotes "man of the seas" or Orang Laut in Bahasa Malayo.
The sea gypies inhabit the shores and waters of the Sulu archipelago. The Badjaos inhabiting Siasi Island are semisedentary, building stilt-houses over the water and engaging in fishing.
The Badjaos are an oppressed tribe. They are referred to a palao or lumaan (God forsaken) by the Tausug.
