Although it is considered a relatively safe city, Davao is located on the island of Mindanao, the heart of the separatist movement of the Moro people, who espouse Islam. Duterte has promised to reach a diplomatic compromise with the movement, but has also threatened retribution against those forces who use violence.

"Moro people", namngivna efter spanjorerna med avsmak på 1600-talet, eftersom de själva hemsökts av kalifatets västliga utbredning i flera århundraden genom morerna med säte i spanska Cordoba.
Citat:
Upon the Spaniards' arrival to the Philippines, they were dismayed to find such a strong Muslim presence on the island, having just expelled the Moors from Spain after centuries of fighting under the Reconquista. In fact, the name Moros (the Spanish word for "Moors") was given to the Muslim inhabitants by the Spanish.[5][7] Caesarea Caroli was the name given by Villalobos to the island of Mindanao when he reached the sea near it. This was named after Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire (and I of Spain).
