About the book
A short report for an international readership on the two peoples displaced by the settlement of Mindanao and the state of their claims in the early 1990s.
This 1993 report for the London-based Minority Rights Group looks at the 2 groups of peoples native to Mindanao, the Lumad and the Moro, and their struggle over land and self-rule. It is a short report of about 35 pages, with maps.
After a glossary and a brief political history of the Philippines, it introduces the Lumad and Moro and their origins. It then covers land ownership and settlement programmes, the effects of big business and development, and the Moro journey towards self-determination. 2 case studies look at the Lumad fight over Mount Apo and the cost of the Agus I hydroelectric plant. The report closes with prospects for peace and directions for the future.
Rudy Rodil taught history at MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology and had taught in Jolo. He was born in Maguindanao and grew up among the Tiruray, a Lumad people. Ed Garcia of the University of the Philippines helped complete the report.
