They are the ones who live in the middle part of the Chico River and are well-known as 'head hunters' in the past. With these tribes, they still practice 'bodong' or the peace pact to prevent having tribal wars. If one of their tribes is being injured by other tribes, any of the tribes will avenge their injured member. Moreover, they are famous for wearing traditional clothes that make them called the 'peacocks.'

I hope they aren't still head hunters! I am guessing that was probably a catch all phrase for any local people not understood.

It is so amusing that the man is wearing jewellery but didn't even cover his private areas aptly.
