Those better informed, pls enlighten re Duturte/martial law in Mindanao??

Duterte might call himself part-Moro, meaning he identifies with them. But he is part Cebuano (general Christian Indo-Malay stock) and part Lumad, which is the indigenous pre-Moslem culture in much of Mindanao.

Our revolutionary society, founded to gain independence from Spain through armed revolution, was the Kataastaasan, Kagalanggalangang Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan. This was usually shorted to just Katipunan or KKK.

To be precise, I should have said from the same term that gave rise to the English term “Moors.”
