The Balangao people are an indigenous group from the mountainous region of North Central Luzon in the Philippines. They are believed to have migrated from the highlands of Ifugao in the 15th century and settled in the area now known as the Balangao Valley. The Balangao are known for their unique number system, which is based on a combination of base–10 and base–20 counting.

The Balangao numbers are used for counting and for denoting quantities. They are written in a unique way, using a combination of symbols and numbers. The symbols are derived from the ancient Ifugao script, which is believed to have been in use since the first century AD. The symbols are believed to represent the various gods the Balangao people worshipped during their time in the highlands.

The Balangao numbers are still used today, although they are not as widely used as they once were. They are used primarily for counting and to keep track of time. The Balangao people have also used the numbers to designate relationships between people, such as family members, and to identify objects. The Balangao numbers are an important part of the Balangao culture and are an important part of their history.
