In the past histories, there were misunderstandings happened between the Ilonggo’s and the Moro people. To prevent this kind of conflict and chaos to prolong, many undertakings have been done. Inter-marriages have been made between these two races, in order for them to merge, unite and understand each others differences especially in culture upbringing.
Compiled reports have already shown that Luzon and Visayan settlers who have migrated in Mindanao invaded the Moro communities and grabbed all of their properties especially their lands. It was easy for these invaders to do these to the Moro’s because they were well-educated and most of the Moro’s in that time were illiterate.
As I have done this research report, I have realized that my ancestors were really ill-minded and that I am very sorry for all of the mess they brought to the Moro people. But in order for me to fully understand my Moro brothers and sisters, I decided to join the Bangsamoro Center for Just Peace (BCJP) as a volunteer to know how to mingle with them and to respect their beliefs and practices.
