MUSIC OF MINDANAO

 Mindanao, island of the Philippines, the second largest, after


Luzon and southernmost of the country's major islands. The island
is 500 km (300 mi) long and very irregular in shape. The
Zamboanga Peninsula in the west is nearly divided from the main
part of the island by Iligan Bay on the north and Illana Bay on the
south. The coastline is marked with many bays and headlands,
which afford shelter to ships during storms. The island is
mountainous, and the mountains are covered with forests of teak,
ironwood, cypress, ebony. The loftiest summit is the volcano Mount
Apo, 2,954 m (9,692 ft) above sea level. The principal rivers are the
Mindanao and the Agusan. The soil is exceedingly fertile and
produces corn, rice, coconuts, bananas, pineapples, and abaca, or
Manila hemp. Gold, copper, iron, and coal are the chief mineral
resources. Stock farming is the most important economic activity of
Mindanao. The chief cities on the island are Zamboanga, Davao,
and Cagayan de Oro. Population (1990) 14,536,000.
