I argue in my book that cultural differences do not by themselves create ethnic conflict. However, Christian Filipinos, including representatives of the Philippine state, have often tended to view Philippine Muslims as socially backward and untrustworthy

The Roots of Insurgency - the Government's ViewThe government's "National Strategy to Overcome Insurgency" is "restricted information". Since government officials presented some of the contents in at least two public conferences, I suppose I am free to speak about it.

Sulu’s relations with China spanned a much longer period than Philippine relations with China. This was what I discovered while sorting through the documents contained in the second volume on the Philippines of the Qing Dynasty Archive Materials on Southeast Asian countries.

It is now a well known fact of history that Spanish presence in Mindanaw and Sulu was that of a foreign aggressor and at the same time a colonizer. Except for the northern and eastern parts of Mindanaw where the Spaniards, more specifically the missionaries, were able to reduce the local people to colonial subjection, missionary style, the rest of Mindanaw and Sulu remained, despite more than three centuries of Spanish attempts, free and resisting. What foothold they were able to establish deep in Moroland were nothing but military garrisons, unable to impose its rule. Armed resistance came largely from the Muslims, citizens of the sultanates or feudal states. From their point of view, although unarticulated in historical documents, Spanish military expeditions could only be interpreted as acts of aggression by a foreign power.

Much has been written about this nation, but invariably all those, with due respect to where respect is due, are little lacking in vision necessary in order to feel and grasp the totality of the situation in our homeland. it is this author's firm conviction that only someone involved body and spirit in the present struggle could really portray our people's sentiments and aspirations. Outsiders may indulge in endless speculations from their respective postures or conduct tiresome researches but in all likelihood will perforce fail to paint a complete perspectives of this nation and its struggle. Paradoxically enough, the extent and intensity of a revolution, nay a jihad, can be felt and described much vividly by none save those who are in the thick of it or perchance those inspired by it.
