THE HISTORY OF CAGAYANEN
Cagayanen is one of many languages spoken in the Province
of Palawan. The Municipality of Cagayancillo, which consists
of the Cagayan Islands in this province, is the etnocenter for
the language and the only municipality in which Kagayanen is
the predominant language spoken.

The Cagayan Islands are located in the central area of the


Sulu Sea between the island of Negros to the east and the
main island of the Province of Palawan. Large numbers of
Kagayanen have moved to the island of Palawan during this
century, so that many villages now exist scattered up and
down its eastern coastal plains in which Kagayanens
predominate.

Cagayanens can also be found as far north as Busuanga


Island and as far south as Balabac Island. The municipalities
of Roxas, Narra and even Puerto Princesa City, in particular,
have barrios with high concentrations of Kagayanens.
Kagayanen is spoken by approximately 15,000 to 20,000
people, of whom about 5,000 lives in the Cagayan Island.
CULTURE AND BELIEFS
OF CAGAYANEN “If you bite your tongue, means
someone is talking about you.”

“Don’t comb your hair at night, it

don’t cut the hair because
he/she will become a mute.”
