Feldspar is if you consider it a mineral. There is a debate whether to consider it one or not. If not the most common mineral would be quartz.

Is andesite a mineral?
No. Andesite is an extrusive igneous rock.

andesite
What is the the most common rock in the Philippines?
Andesite.
Compare the mineral composition of diorite with the mineral composition of andesite?
Both andesite and diorite are igneous rocks with an intermediate color index. Diorite; however, is intrusive and phaneritic, whereas andesite is aphanitic and extrusive. Andesite is said to be the extrusive equivalent of diorite. Diorite is made up of plagioclase feldspar and ferromagnesian mineral crystals, mainly amphibole. Contrarily, andesite may resemble rhyolite, meaning it presents a need for microscopic examination to see its mineral crystals. The two have a composition of plagioclase feldspar and amphibole, but it is much more difficult to detect in andesite.
What is the mineral of andesite?
plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, horneblende (amphibole)
What is the most common rock in Chile?

Coarse grained diorite is most similar in mineral composition to fine grained?
Diorite is the intrusive equivalent to the extrusive rock andesite.

Silicates are the most common mineral group.
Does fracture make up the most common mineral group?
No. Fracture is not a mineral group at all but a manner in which a mineral may break. Silicates are the most common mineral group.
