3 contributions that may be said to constitute the historical legacy of Islam to the Philippines and the Filipino people
Sense

of national unity A sense of continuing struggle against injustice A sense of just peace.

If we are to accept the pattern of history, Islam must be recognized as a positive factor or force in the pursuit of peace and unity by the State.

The sooner the nation and the government recognize this fact the better it is for the future of the country as a whole.

We must continue to destroy the prejudices of the past and begin to remake the history of the Filipino people without the social barrier that tend to divide us.
