Failure of Spanish policy in Mindanao and Sulu was due principally to three mistakes
1) Intolerance and impatience towards the Moros
2) Non occupation of the land early with forces sufficient to maintain Spanish supremacy in the South
3) Failure to rule the people through their chiefs and to give proper respect to native authority

Basic unit of the Philippines governmental organization is a
Republican Municipality
Basic unit of the Moro political organisation is a
Feudal datuship
Presupposes a sufficient degree of intelligence in the community and implies the recognition by the community of the principle of equal rights to all its members and the public belief that the just powers of the government are derived from the consent of the governed and that public office is a trust that should be administered with justice and honesty in the interest of the governed and for their welfare
Republican municipal institution
Is a crude feudal institution
Datuship
Is God’s vicegerent on Earth
Datu
Every court sentence should be based on a sacred statute of the
Quran
Two considerations are therefore implied in the solution of this problem
1) Adaptability to the present conditions of the datuship
2) Adaptation to a process of gradual development , reformation or transformation of the datuship into a municipality
The Moro community is made up of four classes
- Datu or nobles
- Privileged class or free citizens
- subjects of the datu
- slaves
Is a fierce patriotism that excites his rashness and provokes craziness
Juramentado
is a settled agricultural community which has tilled the soil it occupies for years and ages.
