[207] In conclusion, let me take a brief account of the religion of the ancient Bisayans from Fr.

The country is named Camarines; but it might more suitably be called the country of the Bicols, for the whole of it is inhabited by one race, the Bicol-Filipinos, who are distinguished by their speech and many other peculiarities from their neighbors, the Tagals on the west, and the Bisayans on the islands to the south and east.

External appearance is more strictly regarded among the Bisayans than by the Bicols and Tagalogs.
