From the news report, it still seems that there are a lot of people who have a combative mindset in the southern islands.

There is no historical account from the journals of the Spanish that states those from the southern islands considered themselves "Filipinos".
The term, "Moro" is from the Spanish AFTER they noted the practice of Islam in the islands. The very same Spanish who also coined the term, "Filipinos".
So they became "Filipinos" only after Spanish arrival but a form of Islam was already on the islands. In fact, even some Visayans were friendly with Arab traders long before the arrival of Magellan.

Btw, you do not have to make anything clear that has not been previously confused. That is a false premise.
