Maguindanao
Their name means "inhabitants of the lake," since they live in the great Liguasan Marsh. An Islam-practicing people, they constitute one of the three sultanates in southern Philippines. The women use the tube skirt which they wrap around their waist. The men use a loose pair of pants, open shirt and a turban.
