Civil society organizations and academic leaders from across the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and Metro Manila gathered in Pasig City for a refresher workshop on the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro and the Bangsamoro Organic Law

“The MP’s Little Green Book: A Personal Guide for Members of the Bangsamoro Parliament” was launched today in Manila. The book aims to guide first-time Bangsamoro Members of Parliament (MPs) in the discharge of their functions.

A significant portion of the electorate in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) consists of Gen Z, with three out of ten likely voters (32.1%) aged between 17 and 29, according to a recent survey by IAG Research. Digital natives and tech-savvy, this young cohort is poised to influence the region's upcoming parliamentary elections in 2025.

IAG is ramping up its political dialogue program to address the critical need for civic awareness ahead of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao's (BARMM) first-ever parliamentary elections in 2025.

Unlike other ethnic groups surveyed, the Teduray and Lambangian communities prioritize infrastructure and public works as their most pressing issue (44.6%). These communities, clustered in remote areas of southwestern Maguindanao del Norte and Maguindanao del Sur, lack basic amenities such as electricity, running water, social services, and proper roads, according to IAG Research.
