Bisaya is an indigenous people from the northwest coast of East Malaysia on the island of Borneo.

Their population is concentrated around Beaufort as well as Kuala Penyu districts of southern Sabah (in which they are counted under the Kadazan-Dusun group of peoples), Labuan Federal Territory and in Limbang District, Sarawak (in which they are grouped under the Orang Ulu designation).

[5] The Bisaya is closely related, linguistically, with the Tatana Dusun of Kuala Penyu, Sabah.

The word Bisaya, on the other hand, was first documented in Spanish sources in reference to the non-Ati inhabitants of the island of Panay.The proto-Bisaya's indigenous people settled in Borneo thousands of years ago.

Bisaya people are skilled in catching fish either from the river or at sea, and they can hold their breath under water without drowning.

Though they treasure their cultural traditions of medicine, marriages, death etc., they don't actually practice it, possibly due to the influence of the religions.

Even though they would call the traditional medicine men or women known as Bobolian to perform rites in times of illness, most now go to modern medical clinics.
