The oldest inhabitants of the Philippines are the Negrito. They are a pre-Austronesian people who migrated from mainland Asia around 90,000 years ago. The Negrito population was estimated in 2004 at around 31,000.
The Mamanwa (or Mamanua) people of Northeast Mindanao in the Philippines belong to the hunter-gatherer Negritos of Southeast Asia and the western Pacific, and are presumed to be among the oldest indigenous peoples in the region (Omoto, 1984).
