[edit] Page move to Islam in the Philippines?

Isn't Islam in the Philippines a better title for this page? (It is in keeping with Religion in the Philippines and Hinduism in the Philippines Category:Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines.) --Idont Havaname 21:04, 14 August 2005 (UTC) (edit later by me - Hinduism in the Philippines was the text of a link at Religion in the Philippines to Hinduism in Southeast Asia#The Philippines. --Idont Havaname 21:06, 14 August 2005 (UTC))

We have Chinese filipinos, Filipino Americanss, etc. I think the original author would like to focus on ethnicity, cultural and demographics,Filipino muslim should stay as it is. But Islam in the Philippines is also a very good and needed article but the focus is different. Muslims feel they are different ethnically. The Islam in the Philippines should focus on the Islamic religion, how it spreads, history, etc..--Jondel 00:55, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Section Title

The title Government incentive to migrate, land disputes, public schools as propagators of Christianity seems a bit verbose. Would a heading of Bureau of Non-Christian Tribes and the Moro be more accurate?L Hamm 05:40, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A factual error

"Many of the inhabitants of the pre-Hispanic Philippines are said to be Muslims. Rajah Sulayman, a chieftain of Manila at the time of the Spanish conquest, and Lapu-Lapu, the well-known chieftain of Mactan Island, are a few examples."

While Sulayman was probably a Muslim, Lapu-lapu wasn't. He was a pagan/animist.
