Who they are
The Bisaya of Sabah are an indigenous community living in the river plains and coastal areas of northern Borneo. Traditionally devoted to rice farming and fishing, they have a distinct cultural identity expressed in their native language and strong kinship ties. Their social and community life is shaped by the Islamic faith, which remains deeply rooted in their history and daily traditions.
