Some Chinese even joined the Moros in the fighting against the Filipinos in Cotabato.[1]
"Dato Piang is from the people, the son of an itinerant Chinese merchant and a Moro woman of no particular standing, both dead." "He is the only prominent Moro who seems to appreciate what the American invasion means and the business opportunities it brings with it. The Chinese blood in him makes him a shrewd business man, and he has accumulated quite a fortune and is daily adding to it. He practically controls all the business of Cotabato, especially exports, through his Chinese agents in that place; has complete control of the Moro productions, and working with the Chinese merchants makes it practically impossible for a white firm to enter into business in the Rio Grande Valley"[2][3]
The Han Chinese-Moro mestizo Madge Kho wrote several articles and books about the Moro struggles against the US and against the Philippines including a biography of Desdemona Abubakar Tan.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]
