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.

In Mindanao, there are several ethnic groups of similar ancestry, but whose religion is Islam, and whose culture is not as âWestern culture|Westernizedâ on the surface as that of the Christian Filipinos.he Bisaya or Visayan people are a multilingual ethnic grouplocated in the Visayas and a large part of Mindanao. Visayan languages with the most number of native speakers are Cebuano, with 20 million; Ilonggo (or Hiligaynon), with 7 million; and Waray-Waray, with 2.5 million.
