Answer:

Mindanao

Step-by-step explanation:

Mindanao is the second largest island in the Philippine archipelago, with 97 530 km² (the 19th largest in the world) and is also the name of one of the three groups of islands that make up the country. The Muslim Autonomous Region of Mindanao, created in 1989, is located on the island. This was the first island to be dominated by Islam, after that, Islam began to spread to other regions even reaching Borneo.
