Very unlikely Tagalog since "gubat" means "forest" in the language. Error can be attributed to Philippine historians discussing history without regards to tribes or small kingdoms. Compare native Americans. Barangay by WH Scotts does it better with being specific.).

Template:Copy to Wiktionary Mangubat [a] is a Cebuano word that means "to battle or combat".[1][2]

according to Ifugao Tuwali language Mangubat refers to those who war against a group of people or country.[3]

It is mentioned in Antonio de Morga's 1609 book Sucesos de las islas Filipinas:

These Visayans are a race less inclined to agriculture, and are skilful in navigation, and eager for war and raids for pillage and booty, which they call "mangubat". This means "to go out for plunder."[4]
