[85] Blumentritt in his List of Native Tribes of the Philippines (Mason’s translation, Washington, 1901), says of the people of this name:  “In a chart of the Philippines for 1744, by P. Murillo Velarde, S. J., this name is to be seen west of Caraga and Bislig (Mindanao).  English authors speak of the Tagaboloyes, Waitz mentions their clear color, and Mas calls them Igorrotes.  Others add that they were Mestizos of Indians, and more fables to the same effect.  Their region has been well explored, but only Manabos and Mandayas have been found there.  The last named are clear colored, so Tagaboloyes seems to be another name for Mandayas.  The name sounds temptingly like Tagabalies.”
