verification. A view of reflections of glass beads inside a kaleidoscope A toy
kaleidoscope tube A kaleidoscope (/kəˈlaɪdəskoʊp/) is an optical instrument
with two or more reflecting surfaces tilted to each other in an angle, so that one
or more (parts of) objects on one end of the mirrors are seen as a regular
symmetrical pattern when viewed from the other end, due to repeated
reflection. The reflectors (or mirrors) are usually enclosed in a tube, often
containing on one end a cell with loose, colored pieces of glass or other
transparent (and/or opaque) materials to be reflected into the viewed pattern.
Rotation of the cell causes motion of the materials, resulting in an ever-
changing view being presented.

City is the most populous city on the island, with a population of 1,632,991
residents, followed by Zamboanga City (pop. 861,799), Cagayan de Oro City
(pop. 675,950), General Santos City (pop. 594,446), Iligan City (pop. 342,618),
Butuan City (pop. 337,063) and Cotabato City (pop. 299,438).[3] About 70% of
residents identify as Christian, and 20% identify as Muslim.[4] Mindanao is
divided into six administrative regions: the Zamboanga Peninsula, Northern
Mindanao, the Caraga region, the Davao region, Soccsksargen, and the
Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). Native ethnic
groups in Mindanao include the Lumads (namely the Subanons of the
Zamboanga Peninsula;[5] the Bukidnon, the Ata Manobos, the Mamanwas, the
Matigsalugs, the Agusan Manobos, the Talaandigs, the Kamigins, and the
Higaonons of Northern Mindanao and the region of Caraga;[6][7] the T'bolis,
the Tirurays, the B'laans, the Saranganis, and the Cotabato Manobos of the
region of SOCCSKSARGEN; and the Obo, the Mandayas, the Giangans, the
Tagabawas, the Kalagans, the Sangirese, and the Mansaka of the Davao
region[8]) and the Moros (namely the Maguindanaos, the Maranaos, the
Tausugs, the Yakans, the Iranuns, and the Sama, mainly concentrated within
Bangsamoro). Joining them are the equally indigenous Visayan groups in
coastal areas like the Butuanons, Surigaonons, and Kagay-anons of Northern
Mindanao and the Caraga region as well as the Zamboangueños of the
eponymous peninsula, along with descendants of modern settlers from the
Visayas and Luzon (chiefly from the former), among them the Cebuanos and the
Hiligaynons. Mindanao is considered the major breadbasket of the Philippines,
[9] with eight of the top 10 agri-commodities exported from the Philippines
coming from the island group itself.[10] Mindanao is known for its moniker
being The Philippines' Land of Promise.[11]

Etymology Edit The name "Mindanao" is derived from the Spanish corruption of
the name of the Maguindanao people, the dominant ruling ethnic group in the
Sultanate of Maguindanao in southwestern Mindanao during the Spanish
colonial period. The name itself means "people of the lake (Lanao)", though it is
usually translated to "people of the flood plains" in modern sources.[12]
