Many people in the Philippines would say that Islam separated the Philippines; that it was the cause of the conflict in Mindanao.
But really, it is NOT a religious war, as popularly believed.
It is the first foreign religion that touched the Philippines' shore. And it navigated its way into the natives' trade, culture, and society. It provided for commerce to flourish under Arab traders, it gave birth to the modernization (at that time) of culture, and constructed the first political system in the Philippines.
The most important thing is that Islam epitomized Philippine Nationalism. When before the Filipinos of the North passively received the culture of Spain and the U.S., now it fought its own against these two colonizers under the influence of Islam. It was Islam that taught the people to uphold the virtue of courage and justice, and with that, they were able to conquer.
