Abstract

M ORE than most other parts of the Philippines, Mindoro and Palawan had been neglected by ethnographic and linguistic research until 1947.1 The accurately determined number of tribes and languages spoken on each of them was still unascertaihed. Although it was generally known that only on these two islands had forms of an ancient syllabic script survived until the present,2 the areas where these scripts are used today were still undefined, the extent of their use, state of preservation as a culture trait, and the linguistic groups involved still largely unknown. No accurate description of writing techniques or comparison of Mindoro and Palawan scripts had yet been made.3
