The Tausug People
Published by Jun | Filed under Bangsamoro, Tausug
Curious about what the Tausugs of this generation? is there a Tausug Gagandilan left in this generation?
Tausug is amongst the bravest specimen in the history of humanity along with the Spartans, Vietnamese and Gurkhas.
Tausug is one of the 13th tribes that composes Bangsamoro or Moro Nation. I’m curious about the Tausug since we have different language and detached from mainland Mindanao. I always dream of traveling in Sulu, Basilan, Tawi-tawi and nearby islands. As much as i want to learn about the history of the Moro people you can’t take out the Tausugs.
I wonder if the division of the liberation front of Moro are divided by MNLF = Tausugs and MILF = Maguindanaw and Meranao. Is this just a myth? I hope and pray that in the years to come the Moro people will be again united as a Muslim and one Moro Nation. I believe we are just divided because of this politics and election. One day MNLF and MILF will be united. Inshallah.
Resurrection of the glorious past of the Tausug people is the resurrection of the Bangsamoro. The pain and struggle of the Tausug people is also our pain back here in mainland Mindanao. I belong to Meranao and some of my friends back in Mindanao State University – Main Campus, Marawi City is a proud Tausug. We share same sentiments to forward the struggle of the Moro people.
With all curiosities and questions in my mind i want to know more about the Tausug. Lispeta a book writer who wrote about Tausugs has this comments to share in Tausug Islam Yahoogroups - http://blog.wyzemoro.com/curious-about-what-the-tausugs-of-this-generation/ . I posted in my other blog to share her views.

[...] How intractable the problem has become, is demonstrated by the reality that the Moros have basically undergone the same process other Filipinos underwent in the 19th Century -the subordination of their own ethnic identity into that of a national one- so that while “Filipino” is a 19th Century construct, that of Bangsamoro is a product of the 1960s- and that this ideological construct has retroactively invalidated what traditional Moro leaders tried to do: integrate themselves into the Filipino nation. And while old ethnic tensions still exist among the Moros, it is something that has been around long enough to be increasingly non-debatable: see Moslemen Macarambon Jr. Personal Blog. [...]

MApiya,madeger mga suad!
I have a story to tell why i became part of moro land. i am a man bounded with 3 major culture of Mindanao.
I’ve been staying in moro land for almost 8 years particullarly in Lanao,MSU-Marawi city, and for that i totally break the stigma of having a bad empression about Moro people.Yes! i am a converted christian but my grandparents are natives or Lumad. I belong to a Manobo tribe in Agusan ,even before when i was still a little kid in my system i am already embodied with the spirit of culture and the arts and that i considered as a Gift.. From that point i always admire the Moro culture in the moro land not because im part of cultural working and an artist but Their is something in Moro culture and arts which i’m fascinated about the soul,energy and the true diversity in it.
Tausug culture is different becasue by nature they are Nomads they even reached my palce which is very far from them,Butuan city.But no wonder they reached my place because they are sea masters or good in navigating in the sea.
From music,dances ,way of dressing or costumes i admire them in a manner of respecting them as a prominent tribe.
I reached some point that i made a dance-theater piece of Tausug,linggisan and bola-bola and it won in the prestigeous competition in Mindanao the Sayaw Mindanao in Davao, and its not only once i made it but several times. I hope in the future i can stay in their abode and spent for sometime to understand deeper especially the struggle that they are fighting for.
Peace for Moro land.

Hi, just want to say as a Christian Ilocano from Northern Luzon, I wish for the Moro’s independence because you DESERVE to have your own government PROVIDED your sultans are not corrupt and your people are ready for self-government.
I have learned in school how Spain sold her colonies in the Asia Pacific (Spanish East Indies), even including Mindanao to the Americans, eventhough Mindanao was not fully conquered by the Spaniards because of your people’s admirable bravery and strength. This is one of the greatest atrocities committed by European colonizers in Southeast Asia.
That is one of the reasons why you deserve to have your own national identity.
Peace. May Christians and Muslims respect each other someday.
