I. Introduction
There
are some aspects that we think are of little importance in our history. Philippine
history in particular, has that sort of partiality especially in matters of
religion and dogmatic understanding about faith. We cannot neglect the fact
that in basing our understanding about religious developments in the
Philippines, especially in the 19th century, would give us the
perception that it is only limited to, in the aspect of Christianity. While
religious developments are not only limited to Christianity in our discussion
on Philippine history, particularly in Mindanao, it is still a vital part upon
understanding our past. On this note, I am tasked to discuss the role of the
Jesuits in the evangelization of Mindanao. Though this is a subject too broad
to be discussed in a minimal amount of time, I shall attempt to give an
overview of its advancements and how it slowed down. And it is expected that by
the end of our discussion on this matter, we shall have an understanding on the
significance of its impact to the history of Mindanao...
