“…The use of leaves as the most preferred medicinal plant part by the Ati tribe in Antique is parallel to other studies conducted in other Ati (Aeta/Negrito) communities (Ong and Kim 2014;Tantengco et al 2018;Pablo 2019;Cordero et al 2020) and other indigenous groups (Balangcod and Balangcod 2011;Olowa et al 2012;Abe and Ohtani 2013;Balangcod and Balangcod 2015;Balinado et al 2017;Baddu and Ouano 2018;Dapar et al 2020) in the country. It is the frequently used part for therapeutic use because it contains and stores secondary metabolites that can inhibit microbial growth in different ways and can break down cellular membrane in microorganisms (Chanda and Kaneria 2011).…”

“…The Ati tribe used decoction for drinking, bathing for mothers after giving birth, sponge bath for infants and children, and apply as wash for cuts, wounds, and skin disease. The decoction of polyherbal in traditional medicine is very evident in rural (Balinado and Chan 2017) and indigenous groups in the country (Ong and Kim 2014;Cordero et al 2020). In Chinese (Yang and Ross 2010) and Ayurvedic herbal medicine (Verma et al 2016), decoction is also the most common form of preparation and usually taken orally.…”

“…Some medicinal plants were mentioned in the anthropological studies conducted in the Ati community in Janiuay, Iloilo (Rahmann and Maceda 1958), and in some barangays in Hamtic, Tibiao, and Dao, Antique (Rahmann and Maceda 1962). An ethnopharmacological study on 46 plants was conducted in the Ati resettlement in Barotac Viejo, Iloilo (Madulid et al 1989), and recently a comprehensive listing in Malay, Aklan (Cordero et al 2020). There is no updated and detailed documentation focused on the medicinal plants used by the Ati in the province of Antique.…”

Abstract. Cordero CS, Alejandro GJD. 2021. Medicinal plants used by the indigenous Ati tribe in Tobias Fornier, Antique, Philippines. Biodiversitas 22: 521-538. This study documented the medicinal plants used by the indigenous Ati tribe in Sitio Pantad, Brgy. Igcalawagan, Tobias Fornier, Antique. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with the tribal chieftain, council of elders, herb doctors, and other members of the tribe who have indigenous knowledge of using medicinal plants in traditional medicine. The Use Value, Informant Consensus Factor, and Fidelity Level were used to determine the plants’ importance. A total of 108 plant species distributed in 97 genera and 44 families were used by the Ati to treat 67 diseases in 12 categories. The family Fabaceae was best represented with 15 species, followed by Lamiaceae with 12 species, and Asteraceae, Euphorbiaceae, and Poaceae with 5 species each. The most frequently used part was the leaf and the most common method of preparation and administration was decoction that was taken orally. One of the most culturally important medicinal plants was Euphorbia hirta L. with the highest use value (0.59) for treating visual problems, dengue, typhoid fever, and headache. The result of this study serves as an ethnobotanical base for drug research and formulation, as well as creating the needed awareness for preserving ethnomedicine as a safe and effective alternative means in the health care delivery system.

“…The use of leaves as the most preferred medicinal plant part to address medical conditions is comparable to other ethnobotanical surveys conducted throughout the archipelago (Balangcod and Balangcod, 2011;Olowa et al, 2012;Abe and Ohtani, 2013;Gruyal et al, 2014;Ong and Kim, 2014;Raterta et al, 2014;Balangcod and Balangcod, 2015;Pizon et al, 2016;Odchimar et al, 2017;Baddu and Ouano, 2018;Tantengco et al, 2018;Agapin, 2019;Pablo, 2019;Cordero et al, 2020;Dapar et al, 2020;Belgica et al, 2021;Cordero and Alejandro, 2021;Madjos and Ramos, 2021;Montero and Geducos, 2021;Nuñeza et al, 2021). As a tropical country, leaves are always available for most plant species at all seasons and are readily accessible in case of emergencies.…”

“…Several ethnobotanical surveys in Panay Island have been conducted on the Ati (Negritoes) indigenous groups (Madulid et al, 1989;Ong and Kim, 2015;Cordero et al, 2020;Cordero and Alejandro, 2021), but there is no study focused exhaustively on the medicinal plants used by the Panay Bukidnon in ethnomedicine. Nevertheless, several plants were listed with medicinal purposes in the anthropological case studies documented in the interior barangays of Tapaz, Capiz in Central Panay in [1945][1946][1947][1948][1949][1950][1951][1952][1953][1954][1955][1956][1957][1958][1959] (Jocano, 1968).…”

Ethnobotanical Documentation of Medicinal Plants Used by the Indigenous Panay Bukidnon in Lambunao, Iloilo, Philippines

The Panay Bukidnon is a group of indigenous peoples living in the interior highlands of Panay Island in Western Visayas, Philippines. Little is known about their ethnobotanical knowledge due to limited written records, and no recent research has been conducted on the medicinal plants they used in ethnomedicine. This study aims to document the medicinal plants used by the indigenous Panay Bukidnon in Lambunao, Iloilo, Panay Island. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 75 key informants from June 2020 to September 2021 to determine the therapeutic use of medicinal plants in traditional medicine. A total of 131 medicinal plant species distributed in 121 genera and 57 families were used to address 91 diseases in 16 different uses or disease categories. The family Fabaceae was best represented with 13 species, followed by Lamiaceae with nine species and Poaceae with eight species. The leaf was the most frequently used plant part and decoction was the most preferred form of preparation. To evaluate the plant importance, use value (UV), relative frequency citation (RFC), relative important index (RI), informant consensus factor (ICF), and fidelity level (FL) were used. Curcuma longa L. had the highest UV (0.79), Artemisia vulgaris L. had the highest RFC value (0.57), and Annona muricata L. had the highest RI value (0.88). Diseases and symptoms or signs involving the respiratory system and injury, poisoning, and certain other consequences of external causes recorded the highest ICF value (0.80). Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC. and Chromolaena odorata (L.) R.M. King & H. Rob were the most relevant and agreed species for the former and latter disease categories, respectively. C. odorata had the highest FL value (100%) and was the most preferred medicinal plant used for cuts and wounds. The results of this study serve as a medium for preserving cultural heritage, ethnopharmacological bases for further drug research and discovery, and preserving biological diversity.
