A group of Neo-Malay people who live mainly in the Visayas islands of the Philippines, including Cebu, Panay, Leyte, and Samar, and from Luzon to northern Mindanao. They speak the Visayan languages, which belong to the Austronesian language family, and their population is estimated at over 20 million. The Tagalogs are slightly more dominant politically and socially. Although they are basically a homogenous group, they are divided into three main groups linguistically and culturally. (1) Cebuanos They speak Cebuano and live on Cebu, Siquijor, and Bohol. (2) Hiligaynons They speak Hiligaynon and live on Panay, western Negros, and southern Mindoro. (3) Samarans They speak Waray-waray and live on Samar, eastern Leyte, and Biliran. Their main occupation is rice cultivation through paddy field cultivation, but some also engage in fishing and commerce. Their staple foods are rice, fish, vegetables, and fruit. They have bilateral kinship and ritual kinship. They once believed in a supreme god called Laon, and animism was also prevalent, but today most have converted to Christianity.
