Muslims are fighting for self-determination in Mindanao Island and Sulu Archipelago in the southern Philippines, which was originally ruled by sultans (up to Luzon Island, to include the Visayas). When Spaniards discovered the Philippines, then inhabited by Malays and indigenous peoples, they introduced Christianity and converted the people to believe in their religion. This is where the problem began - many opposed it and battle flared up in many parts of the country. Christians migrated to Mindanao and other parts of the Philippines. Then the U.S. invaded the Philippines and fought the Spaniards, who later surrendered and handed over the country to the Americans, then Japan occupied the Philippines and fought the U.S. forces until the Philippines was declared independent in 1946.
Since then, more and more Christians moved to Mindanao and the Muslims eventually became the minority inhabitants of the mineral-rich region of Mindanao and Sulu. So Muslim freedom fighters banded together and form various groups that fought to regain independence.
Then the influence of communism also spread to the country and rebel groups spouted in many parts of the Philippines in an effort to establish a Maoist state.
