The introduction and acceptance of exotic religious institutions and identities greatly influenced the process of national development in the Philippines. The agents of Islam, largely unsupported by outside forces, were initially active in many parts of the archipelago after about the thirteenth century. Roman Catholic missionaries, arriving 200 years later but supported by an elaborate colonial edifice, introduced their faith through an expanding network of fixed mission centres. Distinctive and sometimes intricate geographies resulted from differing social and geographical strategies of conversion. The most general result was the division of Philippine societies into the Christian lowlands of Luzon; the central islands and northern Mindanao; the several Muslim areas of western Mindanao and Sulu; and the persisting local ethnic religious systems of the highlands.

The common assertion that the major residential divisions in Southeast Asian cities, as a class, are along ethnic lines is not appropriate for Philippine provincial cities.

Cities and towns first developed in the Philippines as a product of Spanish rule and Roman Catholic mission activity. In this context a new three tiered hierarchy of settlements was established above the preexisting village level. Elements of social and spatial segregation derived from Mexico were imposed in these settlements. Due to a lack of economic base, the towns set up to serve as regional centers soon declined. Substantial provincial urbanism appeared only with the rise of commerce and commercial agriculture during the nineteenth century. Manila achieved early predominance as a combined result of its ecclesiastical-administrative position and its role as the principal entrepot in the trade of Mexican silver for Chinese goods. Despite the collapse of that trade, Manila retained its primate position by becoming the chief point of import and distribution for Western manufacturers as well as a major collecting area for the export of agricultural commodities

... The 300 years of Spanish colonization broke the natural and cultural boundaries of the "barangays," or "kadatuan" or the pre-colonial geocultural territories with the establishment of pueblos or towns connected by road and bridge systems (Chias & Abad, 2012;Doeppers, 1972).

... Although a great deal of work has been done by population and urban geographers, sociologists and anthropologists on the residential segregation and concentration of ethnic groups within cities, the focus to a large extent has been on urban centres in the developed world such as the United States (US) (Doeppers, 1974;Johnston et al., 2004Johnston et al., , 2006Burgess and Wilson, 2005;Brown and Chung, 2006), the Netherlands (Logan, 2006) and Australia .
