    AGUSAN DEL NORTE

    Agusan del Norte is located on the northeastern tip


    of Mindanao. The province's land area is 3,546.86
    square kilometers when Butuan is added for
    geographical considerations. Butuan Bay and
    Surigao del Norte border it on the north, Surigao del
    Sur on the east, Agusan del Sur on the south, and
    Misamis Oriental on the west.

    People
    According to the 2020 Census, it has a population of 387,503. This amounted to 13.82
    percent of the Caraga region's total population and 1.48 percent of the Mindanao island
    group's overall population.
    There are two common indigenous tribes that we can find in this province they are
    Manobo and Mamanwa.
    Agusan Manobo Tribe
    The Agusan Manobo, sometimes known
    as the Agusan, may be found in Agusan
    del Norte, Agusan del Sur, and even
    Surigao del Sur.

    Mamanwa Tribe
    The Mamanwa can be found in the highlands of
    Southern Leyte, Agusan del Norte, Surigao del
    Norte, Surigao del Sur, and Panaoan Island.
    The Mamanwa tribe, which has a remarkable
    physical similarity to the Negritos, is one of the Philippines' oldest and still surviving
    tribes.
    ECONOMY
    Agusan Del Norte's economy is centered on agriculture, with rice, corn, coconut, and
    fish being the main products. Wood goods, food processing, and handicraft production
    are all examples of manufacturing.
    LANGUAGE
    Cebuano/Bisaya is the main language used in this province. One thing that is great in
    most places in the Philippines, most of the people understand Tagalog (Filipino) and
    English. While Umayam, Adgawan, Surigao, and Omayamnon are the four dialects
    spoken by Manobo Tribe.
    CULTURE
    Greetings/ gesture in communicating with others
    Filipino is known for their hospitality, and having a conversation with one
    of them makes you feel very comfortable, so feel free and comfortable communicating
    with the residents. Since most of the people in Agusan del Norte speaks in Cebuano or
    Bisaya language, it is much easier when you know some simple common word use in
    the province.
    Ways of showing respect to elders
    The greeting gesture is
    called as 'mano,' which is
    commonly translated as 'bless' in
    English. Mano is done as a
    gesture of respect for elders and
    as a method of receiving a
    blessing from them.
    Courtship, marriage, and other important events
    Traditional marriage practices in Agusan del Norte and Agusan del are
    celebrated in the summer months of March to May. When the boy is between
    the ages of seven and ten, courtship begins. When the children reach the age of
    seventeen, the boy moves in with the girl's family to provide years of service.
    When the girl accepts him, the boy goes home, and his parents appoint a "sakop"
    (follower) to negotiate the girl's family's wedding date and dowry.
    Signs and symbols
    The official seal of the lalawigan ng Agusan del Norte
    represents the province's history and economic
    significance.

    Costumes
    The province traditional costumes follow the traditional costume of different tribes
    located at their province like;
    Manobo

    The old Manobos were colorfully clothed. They made


    the textiles with red or black stripes or anything with a labyrinth of colors. Women wore
    short-sleeved shirts with striped patadiongs that were draped from their waistlines to
    their knees. The males wore long-sleeved shirts and tight-fitting trousers from the waist
    to the knees. Women wore tight close-neck shirts with no collars embellished with
    colorful crystal beads in dazzling sequences in most situations.
    Historical places
    Balangan Shrine Museum

    The Balangay Shrine Museum is a well-known cultural tourist attraction in


    Agusan del Norte. Wooden coffins, hunting equipment, human skulls, pots, pottery, and
    other ancient constructions and materials may be found within. In addition, the museum
    has nine balangays, which are antique wooden boats dating back 300 years.
    Magellan's Anchorage
    Located in Masao Butuan City, Agusan Del Norte, this site is believed to be where
    Magellan landed and made a blood compact with Raja Siaiu.
