Their name could have derived from "bla" meaning "opponent" and the suffix "an" meaning "people". Other terms used to refer to this group are Blaan, Bira-an, Baraan, Vilanes, and Bilanes. Indigenous Blaan religionSome of the deities in the Blaan pantheon include:
Relation to other groupsThe Blaan are neighbors of the Tboli, and live in Lake Sebu and Tboli municipalities of South Cotabato, Sarangani, General Santos City, the southeastern part of Davao and around Lake Buluan in North Cotabato. They are famous for their brassworks, beadwork and tabih weave. The people of these tribes wear colorful embroidered native costumes and beadwork accessories. The women of these tribes, particularly, wear heavy brass belts with brass 'tassels' ending in tiny brass bells that herald their approach even when they are a long way off. DisplacementSome Blaan natives were displaced when General Santos City was founded in 1939. Others settled in the city. Their language is said to be the source of the name for Koronadal City, from two Blaan words – kalon meaning cogon grass and nadal or datal meaning plain, which aptly described the place to the natives. On the other hand, Marbel, which is another name for the poblacion, is a Blaan term Malb-el which means "murky waters" referring to a river, now called Marbel River. The tribe practices indigenous rituals while adapting to the way of life of modern Filipinos.[3] Recent developmentsThe tribe received some press when they gave Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao a tribal rank.[4] However, relations with settlers and their descendants isn't always harmonious; Ilonggo settlers reportedly clashed with some Blaan natives in March 2015.[5] External links
