Dananao

Dananao as a people and culture thrive in the embrace of the Chico River valley, specifically within the foothills of Mount Mosimos and Mount Binuluan.

This vibrant community, constituting one of Tinglayan's 19 barangays, flourishes in the southern expanse of Kalinga Province, where its essence is intricately tied to the surrounding natural beauty. The people of Dananao celebrate a heritage rich in traditions, languages, and a profound connection to their ancestral legacy, reflecting the unique tapestry of Kalinga's indigenous identity.
