Muslim Filipinos Between Integration and Secession

Abstract / Excerpt:

When on September 23. 1972, President Marcos announced martial law throughout the Philippines, one of the reasons he gave for doing so was the existence of a widespread conflict between Muslims and Christians in Mindanao and Sulu. The causes ofthis conflict, which began in Coiabato in mid-1970 ,are very complex, but the fact of the conflict — its extent and violence — certainly marks the break down.of the Philippine Republic's policies respecting the Muslim Filipino minority concentrated in the southern islands.
