Zamboanga , I am sure that gives a few the chills, not all know that MILF word is not what we think here in California it is ... I have a question, at one point I was speaking to a American-Filipino (born in PI) and when I said Moro he wasnt very happy with the word I used to describe the ,,Muslim people living in the south parts of the Philippines, mainly Mindanao,, he admonestated me saying that calling them ,,Moro ,, is like saying ,,savages,,. Henever give into my theory that Moro comes from spanish ,,Moorish,, (a word to describe anyone of Islamic faith) but on the same time I see description of institution where I see the word Moro like Bangsamoro, MILF and so on ...
Enlighten me, please
