The people are the Moros, who are ; still a very backward race. The! Moros as a whole have a closely-knit family relationship and: have a keen responsibility. They have never submitted to un just] rule and are not afraid to stand by their convictions. Some of them are occupying responsible positions in the gov- X i eminent but a greater number are illiterates* They ] do not approve of a woman going] to a r coeducation al school, especially when she has reached puberty. Among the Moros a man can have as many wives as he wants, 4s long as he is economically able to support them; In 1919, an order was issued by the governor of Coysbato that all daughters of the dif ferent tribal chiefs would go to Jalo to study. With one maid to take care of her, Bai went to her first school, which she finished, becoming the first Moro girl to ever complete High School. She later attended the Univer sity of the Philippines, where she married her third cousin, who grad uated in law from the University. They made their residence in Cot abato.
