The T'boli are one of the indigenous people of South Cotabato in Southern Mindanao Philippines. I made a portrait of a T'boli elderly woman in traditional attire. After the World War II since the arrival of settlers originating from other parts of the Philippines, they have been gradually pushed onto the mountain slopes. As of now, they are lmost expelled fron the fertile valley floor.
