"SUBANEN" is the right words on how to speak my tribe not SUBANON as we can see here in Wikipedia,SUBANON S wrong pronounciation who ever posted here he/she not belong to my tribe Subanen coz he/she don't know the right terms on it or he /she ddn't know the real story of SUBANEN TRIBE.

The history of the Subanen people is obscure until the 1600,s when they were mentioned in the writings of Spanish Jesuit missionaries. Prior to the 20th century, their only contact with the outside world was with Muslim merchants who lived along the coast of the ZAMBOANGA PENINSULA.

They acquired the name "SUBANEN" however only recently. The terms was derived from "SUBA" which is a CEBUANO word for river. One researcher said that it was applied to the tribe because he people are met going up the rivers from the coastal areas. The term "SUBAN-ON" was coined to describe them as upstream people. In the past they were called "PAMALASAN" which means "PEOPLE CARRIED BY THE WIND" or "GETAW MEPASIG" meaning "PEOPLE CARRIED BY THE CURRENT.
