Answer:
Islam is the first-recorded monotheistic religion in the Philippines. Islam reached the Philippines in the 14th century[1][2] with the arrival of Muslim traders from the Persian Gulf, Southern India, and their followers from several sultanate governments in the Malay Archipelago. The Muslim population of the Philippines has been reported as about 6% of the total population as of a census in 2000.[3] According to a 2015 report of Philippine Statistics Authority, 6% of Filipinos are Muslims.[4] While the majority of the population are Catholics, some ethnic groups are Hindus, Buddhists, Animists, Sikhs, or non-religious.
