local people never cooperated
with the military despite the
huge amounts and generous
rewards offered to those who
could lead to the capture of the
elusive leader. According to one
account: “The only answer the

“no” or “bukon” meaning “not

The cause of the Kamlon
rebellion, according to several
sources, had not been clearly
established. To the military
men who tried to capture him,
Kamlon was simply a Moro who
wanted to return to the lawless
life of a freebooter; some
attributed his rebellion to the
conflict among local leaders in
Sulu.
How come he could not be
captured despite the inferior
number and crude weapons of
his followers? How come the
superior military power of the
government and the reward
system for the capture of
Kamlon is not effective? Why
does it take too long to capture
a band of more or less 100
poorly armed individuals? What
is really the problem with
Kamlon’s uprising?

the Moros that they are not
Filipinos; that the Philippine
military is not their military;
that the Philippine government
is a foreign government.
The Special House Committee
used the term “Mindanao
Problem” in referring to the
unrest caused by the Moros
and IP’s general feeling of not
belonging to the Philippine
nation. Other scholars and
critics of course argue that the
term is inappropriate since it is
too sweeping to include the
entire Mindanao in the
problem. Moro scholars also
refuse to call it the Moro
problem since it is not the
Moros who caused it but are
merely reacting to a situation
caused by poor governance,
discrimination and the uneven
distribution of development.
Balacuit surveyed the attitudes
of Muslim and Christian dorm
residents before and after their
