The Filipino word for ‘tribe’ is tribo. A native is katutubo.
PHILIPPINE TRIBES

Tinguian or Itneg of Abra Province
The Tinguian are a Philippine tribe in the mountain province of Abra in northwestern Luzon. Their settlement has extended as far as Ilocos Sur. They are distinct from the Igorot tribe, who are their neighbors, although intermarriage between the two groups has become common. The Itneg are classified as a “pagan” tribe because they were not Christianized by the Spaniards unlike the Ilocano people nearby.
