The Wild Tribes of Davao District, Mindanao: The R. F. Cummings Philippine Expedition

While it is true that the Kulaman take the heads, and some times the
arms,[143] of slain foes, and that the same custom is some times
followed by individual warriors of the other tribes, head-hunting for
the sake of the trophy is not practiced here, as is the case in Northern
Luzon. The skull or other portions of the body are kept only long enough
to prove the murder, or until they can be mutilated by the women and
children, "who thus become brave."
[143] This is also the custom of the Bukidnon.
