The webinar will feature Datu Roque Yusuf Morales and Darwin Absari. Morales will discuss the de-indigenization and Arabization of Filipino Muslim spirituality as well as the impacts, both negative and positive, on Filipino Muslims and Filipinos in general. On the other hand, Absari will focus on discussing PagTuhan, Tausug’s own spiritual system. PagTuhan became the essence of Tausug culture in defining their way of life and inspired them to withstand powerful invasions which found its way to influencing the psychological and spiritual makeup of early Filipinos whom they came in contact with as they actively participated in inter-island trade.
