Minduso

Minduso lies in the uplands of Bukidnon, in the interior of Mindanao. Local accounts remember it as a Manobo settlement associated with Datu Andarol and his family, amid country once covered in forest. Bukidnon communities took their names from the watersheds they inhabited and looked to their datus to settle disputes and uphold customary law. Their highland home lay far from the better-known ports of Mindanao's coasts.
