Origin of mandyas

From Greek

I have been told by Mandyas on several occasions that they were still manbo, that is, still unbaptized.

The Manbo lives in as dark forests and on as lofty mountains as those occupied by Mandyas.
The Manbos of Mindano|John M. Garvan
With the Mandyas and Debabons, they have helped to reduce the once extensive Maggugan tribe to the remnant that it is to-day.
The Manbos of Mindano|John M. Garvan
Even the little stalls erected by Mandyas for the married couples are very seldom to be found.
