Who they are
The bantuanon, also known as bantoanon or asi, originate from the island province of Romblon in the Philippines. With their own language from the Malayo-Polynesian branch and a strong attachment to their community roots, they preserve unique cultural traditions linked to maritime life and family agriculture, maintaining close ties of solidarity among island villages.
