The Chieftan with the spear and shield is most definitely a man. There is a good studio portrait of him in Jonathan Best's book of postcards. According to the caption in the book, the sash is what marks him as a chief.

Bagobo men have long been known for their fine and graceful facial features. Some of the early descriptions noted the difficulty of separating Bagobo men and women by their facial appearances.
