Etymology

The term is ancient, appearing in both noun and verb forms in the books contemporaneous with the pintados age.

A mangubat was a man who left his homeland, family, and people mainly for war adventure, for tattooing, for honor and fame, and for the spoils of war, with the implication that he planned to return home with his newly won fortune and fame. It does not include the concept of staying in the place one has conquered for in the Pintados culture for one to have a tattoo one must prove himself in battle.

The word existed in both a noun form (mangubat, the person traveling for war adventure)[10] and a verb form (mangubat, to travel for war or participate in one of these adventures).

Mangubat when related to a name, it usually means marauders, pirates and warriors[11][12] in the Visayas. Antonio de Morga, in his book published in 1609 Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas (Events of the Philippine Islands), mentions that the term means "to go to war and raid for plunder" and described the native as "a race less inclined to agriculture, skillful in navigation and eager for war and raids for pillage and booty".[13][14] the term was also used by Francisco Baltazar (1778–1862) in his 1838 book Florante at Laura to means "to go for battle".[15] The term is derived from two Filipino words – the verb mang (to do) and the noun gubat (war).[16] "Gubat" is a common word for war in the language of the Visayans,the ancient Tagalog,[17] the Ilocano people,[18] the Igorot people,[lower-alpha 2] in Mindanao, and in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.[lower-alpha 3]

Brief description of the Mangubat warriors

They have the same occupations, products, and means of gain as the inhabitants of all the other islands (i.e. Islands of the Visayas and Mindanao). These Visayans which they call Mangubat are a race less inclined to agriculture, and are skilful in navigation, and eager for war and raids for pillage and booty.
