Philippines and even Mindanao are overwhelmingly Catholic. The autonomous regions do not have enough votes for complete independence.
Let's not be rude and the terrorists in Philippines are definitely not Muslims, at least not as considered by the mainstream Muslim population. They are gangs who like to kidnap folks for ransom and sometimes cut off their heads. Nothing religious about that. I posted many articles here in the early 2000s about the Abu Sayyaf.

With respect, MILF is an islamic terrorist organization. It’s not a question of being rude, it’s a question of being accurate.
