Mindanao referred to as “The Land of Promise”. It has the largest concentration of ethnolinguistic
groups and culturally diverse islands. These groups are mostly Muslims and other groups are the Lumads or
those who have maintained their indigenous beliefs and traditions instead converting to Islam or Christianity.
Before Islam came to the Philippines, early Filipinos worshipped nature and believed that plant and
inanimate objects are home to ancestral spirits. They also believed that natural phenomena are caused by
gods. This indigenous belief system is called animism. The conversion of the natives and the arrival of Muslim
traders and merchants resulted in new form of unique blend of spirituality and creativity.
