The Molbog (also called Melebuganon) are found in the Balabac island groups in southern Palawan where they are estimated to number 5,292 (1990). The national population is 6,795 (1980).

       The Molbog are Islamic in religion. The agricultural base of the people is rather poor and the population density is very low. Cropping is combined with fishing for subsistence. Coconut is the only commercial crop. The fish resource base is rich but exploited by large-scale commercial ventures that supply Manila.
