The study of Matigsalug indigenous games is one of the ten-study projects of an on-going attempt to retrieve and document traditional games among the ethnic communities recognized as local tribes in Davao City. Triangulation methods were utilized using direct participatory, observational approach, in-depth interview, fieldwork and a focus group discussion. The Matigsalug tribes known as people living along the “Salug” (Davao) River is one of the aboriginal immigrants of Davao City which identifies a distinct culture and precept in the island. They are divided into five (5) sub-groups; these are Matiglongilan, Pulangion, Talaandig, Matiglabo and Ata tribe. Prior to the foreign colonization, the tribes already had customary concepts and practices. Diversified rituals for abundant harvests, courtships, fortunes and traditional games are already practiced. But most of these practices especially in traditional games are undocumented and unexplored. Games as commonly known as socializing forces of Filipino family has a distinct meaning in the collation of Matigsalug indigenous games. Most of the documented games of the tribes are not for pastimes but an attempt of seeking and hunting food for survival. The Lolilid to bonabba and Poniting are means of support in-order to catch wild animals in the forest which uses the “pana and gossa” (bow and arrow) and “pangasso sobbat” (spear). The lombok povatas, poobitoy diyot weeg, ompuan povatas and oppuk diyot daum to weeg are sets of games held in the river to catch for fish, shrimps, crabs, frogs for food and for survival. These traditional practices are handed from generation to generation which serve as socio-historical markers of the tribes. The significance of this study is to document and strengthen the indigenous games particularly of the Matigsalug Tribe, institutionalize tribal Olympics and to unite the aboriginal immigrants of Davao City.
