The Mangyan Heritage Center (MHC) is a library, archive, and research and education center in Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro. Established in 2000, the MHC builds upon the collection of Dutch anthropologist and Mangyan historian Antoon Postma. The MHC preserves, documents, and conducts further research on all topics concerning the eight Mangyan groups – the Alangan, Bangon, Buhid, Hanunuo, Iraya, Tadyawan, Tau-buid and Ratagnon. It also undertakes several activities which celebrate and promote the rich Mangyan culture. The launching of the centre in 2000, timed with the 50th founding anniversary of the province of Oriental Mindoro, was done according to traditional Mangyan rituals.
