Muslims in the Philippines (PRE-ORDER)

❗️NOTE❗️:

THIS IS A ❗️PRE-ORDER ITEM❗️PRODUCT WILL BE SHIPPED WITHIN 4-6 MONTHS.

If you are ordering an item that is currently in stock in the same order, the order will be held until the pre-ordered book or item arrives from the Philippines. Shipping of pre-ordered items from our partners in the Philippines to New York are scheduled to take place in May, July, and November 2026 only.

Once pre-ordered items ship and arrive from the Philippines to New York, items will be dispatched from New York to their final destination.

Due to the gas situation worldwide and especially in the Philippines, shipping of pre-ordered items are delayed and shipping from the Philippines has been set to ease our partner's in the Philippines.

Shipping during these 3 months for 2026 also allow our partnered local artisans from the Philippines such as our patadyong weavers, anitu sculptors, and brass pre-colonial gold replica jewelry pieces, the time needed they need to work on your one of a kind, handmade pieces. 

These pieces are all handmade by our local partners and traditional artisans, not mass produced. If you want a ready made and in stock clothing piece, figure, ceramic, or jewelry piece, there are some available for in-stock and on hand items only. Every shipment from the Philippines we do order extra's to put up on the shop for those who want to keep an eye out for in stock items. 

❗️CURRENT SHIPPING❗️

If you are going to be pre-ordering an item and ordering an in stock item, two separate orders must be placed to guarantee arrival of in stock products within 2-4 weeks.

Our shipping days for in-stock items from New York are currently only being shipped at the beginning and end of each month. This allows time for packing and shipping items. Also due to the rising gas prices, we have decided to cut back on shipping days to make it easier on ourselves (two person team) to pack and deliver items to the Post Office 2x a month.

SYNOPSIS:

In his original preface to Muslims in the Philippines in 1970, Cesar Adib Majul highlights the various stages of history of the Muslim peoples. But what stands out when one reads this book more than fifty years later is Majul’s call to the Muslim youth in the Philippines, to whom he dedicates the book. His message is directed toward them, and ultimately all of us at present who share the responsibility for what he endeavored the book to achieve, specifically so that “a future generation of Filipinos would consider the struggle of the Muslim South as part of the struggle of the entire nation.” This reprinted edition thus serves to put necessary focus not merely on a people’s history in isolation, but on one that is embedded within the history of the larger national community.
