Mindanao (/mɪndəˈnaʊ/ min-də-NOW) is the second largest and southernmost major island in the Philippines. It is also the name of one of the three island groups in the country (the other two being Luzon and the Visayas), consisting of the island of Mindanao and smaller outlying islands. Davao City is the largest city in 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.
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 a significant Muslim presence. Due to widespread poverty and religious differences, the island has seen a communist insurgency as well as armed Moro separatist movements.
Mindanao is considered the food basket of the Philippines. Eight of the top 10 agri-commodities exported from the Philippines come from here. Mindanao is also dubbed with the moniker as The Philippines' Land of Promise.
Rodrigo "Rody" Roa Duterte (born March 28, 1945), nicknamed Digong, is a Filipino lawyer and politician of Visayan descent. Duterte is among the longest-serving mayors in the Philippines. He has been mayor of Davao City, a highly urbanized city on Mindanao island, for 7 terms, totalling more than 22 years. He has also served as vice-mayor and congressman in the city.
On November 21, 2015, Duterte declared his candidacy for President of the Philippines in the upcoming 2016 election after a period of banter.
Duterte was born on March 28, 1945 in Maasin, Leyte in the Philippine Commonwealth to Vicente G. Duterte, who served as Governor of (the then-undivided) Davao and Soledad Roa, a native of Cabadbaran, Agusan who was a school teacher and a civic leader. Duterte's father Vicente, prior to being provincial governor of Davao, was once a mayor of Danao in Cebu. Rodrigo's cousin Ronald, on the other hand, served as Cebu City mayor from 1983 to 1986. Ronald’s father, Ramon Duterte, also held the position from 1957 to 1959. The Dutertes consider the political families of the Durano and the Almendras clan as relatives.
Philippines : Duterte declares martial law after Mindanao attack Emergency declaration follows heavy clashes between security forces and fighters in Mindanao's Marawi city.
President Rodrigo Duterte has placed Mindanao under martial law, Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella said late Tuesday night. Speaking in a joint press briefing in Moscow, Russia along with Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana and Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano, Abella said the President made the declaration at 10 p.m., Manila time, in connection with the clashes between government forces and terrorist groups in Marawi City which erupted Tuesday afternoon. "(Senior Deputy Executive Secretary Menardo Guevarra) has clarified that this was possible on the grounds of existence of rebellion because of what is happening in Mindanao based on Article 7, Section 18 of the Constitution. This is good for 60 days," Abella said. For his part, Lorenzana said although the current ar...

Beware when traveling to the Southern Island of Mindanao in the Philippines. I have been getting quite a few comments and questions with regard to my trips to Mindanao in the Southern Philippines. Asking if I'm a bit concerned for my safety. I would say yes maybe a little bit more now after these comments. I am always a little nervous on my way over there, but once I hit the airport in General Santos City I'm good. On my very first trip there I was a little bit worried, because of what I had read about the problems they are having with terrorism and the kidnappings on the Island of Mindanao along with the travel warnings issued by the US state department. When we were coming in for a landing at GenSan you fly out over the Sarangani bay and then turn and bank in for the landing. I've spent ...

Here is my second gopro video about my adventure trip to the beautiful and exquisite island of Siargao. The island is so breathtaking located 800 kilometers southeast of Manila in the province of Surigao del Norte. There are different ways to get there. You can take the Manila to Cebu flight via the different air carriers. Then from Cebu, take a flight to Sayak airport in Siargao island. You can get or hire a local tour guide with his matching tricycle to tour you around and everywhere on the island. Siargao contains the largest mangrove forest reserve in Mindanao. That's why we saw plenty of them around during our tour. We checked in at the local Reef9 Beach Houses which is a very, very good accommodation for travellers, budgetwise. We first sought the famous Sohoton cave and stingless...

Asia Program For some years after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the existence of violent Muslim separatists on the southern Philippine island of Mindanao gave U.S. officials significant cause for concern. In 2005, for example, the U.S. embassy charge d'affaires to the Philippines, Joseph Mussomeli, told reporters that "certain portions of Mindanao are so lawless, so porous ... that you run the risk of it becoming like an Afghanistan situation. Mindanao is almost, forgive the poor religious pun, the new Mecca for terrorism." During the Bush administration, officials referred to the region as a "second front" in the War on Terror: the region was once seen as a "new Afghanistan" that "threatened to become an epicenter of Al Qaeda."
