If I went to the Philippines, I probably wouldn’t see any Muslims either, because my head would be separated from my body.

Hardly so...
As I said, there are some here and I am surprised that there are not more, considering our proximity to Malaysia and Indonesia, but the Spanish colonization instilled a very strong Catholic faith here.
Most every small town has a very old and very massive Catholic church that holds thousands.
The one in my small town will be 300 years old in February.

There are only a few remote areas of the Philippines where Muslims present any trouble. Keep in mind, this is a country of 7107 islands.
