The Sambal traditional dress consists of a single-shoulder short-sleeved shirt, paired with short trousers. Usually worn at the chest and shoulder areas of the shirt are badges that resemble multicolored crosses.<ref name="AngMgaSambal">{{Cite web |title=Ninuno Mo, Ninuno Ko: Miguel de Loarca 6 |url=http://www.elaput.org/loarca05.htm |website=elaput.org |language=fil}}</ref>
 
The Sambals were known to be militant and fierce fighters,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Aklasan Ng Charismatic Pinoys: Andres Malong |url=http://www.elaput.org/chrmlong.htm |website=elaput.org |language=fil}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Aklasan ng Charismatic Pinoys: Si Gumapos at si Almazan |url=http://www.elaput.com/chrmalmz.htm |website=elaput.com |language=fil}}</ref> notorious for their bloody raids on [[Christianity in the Philippines|Christian]] settlements.<ref name="ZambalesProfile">{{Cite web |title=Zambales |url=http://www.geocities.com/lppsec/pp/zambales.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20021120182921/http://www.geocities.com/lppsec/pp/zambales.htm |archive-date=2002-11-20 |website=geocities.com/lppsec/pp |language=en |access-date=2007-03-02 }}</ref> In the [[Boxer Codex]], they were described as being [[Headhunting|headhunters]] who immediately cut the head of people they kill with a [[balarao|bararao]] dagger. They then make a crown-shaped incision on the head and remove the brains. The head is kept as a trophy, similar to the head-hunting traditions of [[Cordilleran people|Cordillerans]]. The Boxer Codex also mentions other customs whose veracity is questionable, including claims that they eat [[carabao]] intestines raw, or that only the first and second sons inherit their father's property while the rest are enslaved or killed.<ref name="Turley">{{cite book |last1=Turley |first1=Jeffrey Scott |editor1-last=Souza |editor1-first=George Bryan |editor2-last=Turley |editor2-first=Jeffrey Scott |title=The Boxer Codex Transcription and Translation of an Illustrated Late Sixteenth-Century Spanish Manuscript Concerning the Geography, History and Ethnography of the Pacific, South-east and East Asia |date=2015 |publisher=Brill |isbn=9789004301542 |pages=328-329}}</ref>
 
The Sambals have been occasionally recruited by ''Indio'' commanders (''indio'' was the term used for the Austronesian natives) in campaigns against the [[Spanish Government|Spanish]], who then governed the islands. The Sambal were also once known to have captured and enslaved [[Diego Silang]] as a child, eventually being ransomed by a [[Recollets|Recollect]] missionary in Zambales.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Aklasan Ng Charismatic Pinoys: Diego Silang |url=http://www.elaput.org/chrmslng.htm |website=elaput.org |language=fil}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Diego Silang |url=http://www.globalpinoy.com/ch/ch_category.php?category=heroes&name=Diego+Silang&table=ch_heroes&startpage=1&endpage=15 |url-status=dead |website=Cultural Heritage |language=en |access-date=2007-03-02 |archive-date=2007-09-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927022835/http://www.globalpinoy.com/ch/ch_category.php?category=heroes&name=Diego+Silang&table=ch_heroes&startpage=1&endpage=15 }}</ref>
