Visayans
The Visayans (Visayan: mga Bisaya; ) are a Philippine ethnic group native to the Visayan islands, to the southernmost islands of Luzon and to the northern and eastern parts of Mindanao. They are speakers of one or more Visayan languages, the most widely spoken being Cebuano, distantly followed by Hiligaynon and Waray-Waray. They live primarily in the Visayan island group and in many parts of Mindanao. Many have, at some point in their lives, migrated to Luzon out of economic necessity brought about by centralisation around Manila. They comprise the largest ethnic group in the country, numbering at around 33 million as of 2010.
