| description | This study focuses on the factors of migration of Muslims from Mindanao to Luzon,
specifically the City of Dasmarinas, Philippines. It also provides data on the present
roles of such migrants to the development of the city and their thematic traits as a
people. Culled mainly from 12 interviews and with analysis adapted from
Moustakas, et.al. Model; the main reason for their migration according to
interviews is the search for new opportunities; their belief that they would earn
more in the establishments of the city. Their decision to migrate is also influenced
by persons close to them such as relatives. The interviewees have quickly adapted to
their new environment by traveling together and settling with their families.
Ethnographic approach unraveled that aside from paying taxes to the coffers of the
city and rent to its businesses, Muslim migrants have contributed to the city’s
progress by engaging in work; providing aid during calamities, charitable works
and cheaper products to the city’s inhabitants. Employing a qualitative case
method, and using informal and in-depth tools; the study concludes that the
Muslims of Dasmarinas have not only enriched the socio-economic aspects of the
city, but have also greatly contributed to its over-all growth and productivity. |
