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.
Mindanao is the second largest island of the Philippines. Mindanao may also refer to:
The money's all gone
Get it straight
The money's all gone again
Way to hesitate
Can't survive alone
Heaven sent us to play your favorites
Fill your family with revelations
And come back home
Too close for comfort
Too close for comfort
Too close for comfort
Too close for comfort
The enemy's at the gate
The enemy's at the gate
And slowly we come undone
And slowly we come undone
The warriors are all gone
The warriors are all gone
And slowly we come undone
