Who they are
The Iwaak are an Indigenous people who inhabit the mountainous areas of the northern Philippines, especially the slopes of the mountain range on Luzon. They preserve ancestral customs and maintain close ties to the land through their own language and oral traditions. Although outside influences have reached their villages, their cultural identity and traditional spiritual practices remain deeply woven into the community’s daily life.
