About the book
A history of the Moro peoples written from within, from the sultanates to the MNLF, by a Maranao lawyer; printed by the author and much cited in the region. Revised 2001.
Nasser A. Marohomsalic records the Bangsa Moro struggle for self-determination over some 440 pages. He traces it first against Spain, then against the United States, and then against the government of the Filipino majority. He gives that government the Maranao name "beberno a saroang-a-tao", the "government of foreigners".
The book does more than tell a history. It ends with a political proposal: a separate state and government for the Bangsa Moro within a federal system. The author first published it himself in 1995 and issued it again in 2001.
Marohomsalic was a Maranao lawyer. He served as a commissioner of the Commission on Human Rights and was the first Maranao elected National Secretary of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines. At his death he was serving on the National Amnesty Commission.
