The root causes of much of the current conflict in the Philippines are ethnic in nature. Comprising five percent of the Filipino population, Muslims are an ethnic minority in the nation as a whole, but are concentrated in the southern islands of Mindanaoi in the Sulu archipelago. This federal government, which has historically favoured the majority Christian population, encouraged the migration of Christians to Muslim-dominated areas after the Japanese occupation.
