Japanese soldiers are known to be fearsome in battle, ready to give its own life performing seppuku when captured yet during 1944 a war between Moro & Japanese soldiers they cowardly hide from the agonizing edge of the Moro's traditional weapon the kris sword.
1911 caliber .45 pistol indeed quite a goof handgun, not to mention it's durability but also it's accuracy and handsome appearance. But did you know that it's existence is highly relevant with the Moro fighters?
The Moro rebellion (1902–1913) is one of the historic battles that had happened in the Philippines. It shows courage to its deepest meaning, armed with only kris swords and traditional weapons against revolver and rifles, fighting for its people and land against fighter who fights for colonization and imperialism. The .38 revolver cannot penetrate the silk that is wrapped around the body of Moro fighters that's why they need to have a gun that can pierce not only on silk armor but also on the Moro's will to fight. 1911 .45 pistol is still remarkable up until today in fact it is well praised by avid gun collectors however it cannot change the fact that a great pistol did not win against the kris sword welded by blood and resistance by the people who wants nothing but freedom and sovereignity on its own land.
Spaniards are the first one who attempted to conquer the Moro people yet also the first one who failed. Being the first colonizers of the Philippines Spaniards fails not only conquering the Moro people and it's land but also failed to introduce the religion they brought along. No question that christianity is the biggest religion not only in the Philippines but all over the world also it is a fact that it's the religion that goes against with the Moro people.
Moving forward this dispute continues to go on for generations to a point where fellow Filipino kills each other. So the wise men of both parties come to an agreement and find a solution to this decades of dispute and marriage is one of the solution they wanted to know if it works out. Acculturation, assimilation and of course amalgamation are the three components of this solution, formulated by scholars of anthropology and sociology we will witness if it's really a marriage or a merger!?
