My other Moro Lola told me that most of the land around in the 60âs were inhabited by Moros (although it was sparsely populated then.). When people think of Mindanao, the imagine a huge percentage of it being occuppied by Muslims and their Lumad kin. However on the ground, you will see exactly the opposite. Historical facts may say so, but statistical facts put Muslims at 30% in Mindanao.
Aside from the colorful contributions of its regional tribes, Mindanao is home to the largest cultural minority in the Philippines - the Muslims. Brought by Javanese and Middle Eastern traders, Islam is the religion of approximately 20 percent of the Philippine population. They are known for their mysticism, royalty, and beauty which are evident in their music and dances.
