major island in the Philippines. It is also the
name of one of the three island groups in the

Mindanao. As of the 2010 census, the island's
population itself is 20,281,545 people, while
the Mindanao island group has 21,968,174
inhabitants.[1]
Parts of south-western Mindanao island group,
particularly the provinces of Maguindanao,
Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi
(part of the Autonomous Region of Muslim
Mindanao (ARMM)), are home to a sizeable
Muslim population, making the island group,
along with Palawan, the only area of the
Philippines with significant Muslim presence.
Due to widespread poverty and religious
differences, the island has seen a communist
insurgency as well as armed Moro separatist
movements.
