Tribe History
Upon reaching shore, tempers flared early on as B.B. rubbed his tribemates the wrong way as he asserted his work ethic to them. Despite this, Pagong rallied on to win the first challenge, winning 50 waterproof matches and Immunity.

After losing the Day 6 Immunity Challenge, B.B.'s abrasive demeanor caught up to him as he became the first casualty of the tribe in a 6-1 vote.

After B.B.'s elimination, Gretchen took over the leadership position. Her leadership seemed more well-liked than their previous leader, despite some minor arguments. On Day 7, while foraging the jungle for food, Greg, Gretchen and Colleen stumbled upon a mud volcano. This new attraction became the special bonding place of the tribe.

Ramona had been sick and pale early on the game. This gesture worried her tribemates. Though she redeemed herself by dominating the Day 12 Immunity Challenge, the tribe lost, and her new found strength was not enough to save her, and she was next to go with a 4-2-1 vote.

Despite their close bond as a tribe, conflicts continued to plague the tribe. The worst one was when Gervase and Joel blurted sexist remarks against the female tribemates. When the tribe lost by a hair in the sixth Immunity Challenge, the women of Pagong made a pact against Gervase and Joel. During their third Tribal Council, the three girls, plus Greg, eliminated Joel in a 4-2 vote.

On Day 20, Pagong and the rival Tagi tribe were merged together as one tribe. The remaining Pagongs migrated to Tagi's beach for the rest of the game.
