Zamboanga is a Catholic shrine to Mary erected in 1910 on Mindanao, which is a southern island in the Philippines. Christians would pray at this shrine to seek divine intervention in their ongoing struggle with the Moslem Moros, who lived nearby in Zamboanga.[1][2] The chosen Moros would then accept death himself if captured.
