The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) is an autonomous region in the southern Philippines, established in 2019. It was created to provide greater self-governance to the Muslim population in the region, following decades of conflict and negotiations. The region includes five provinces: Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, and Basilan, along with several cities and municipalities. BARMM aims to promote peace, development, and cultural identity for the Bangsamoro people. It has its own government structure, which includes a parliament and a chief minister, allowing for local decision-making and administration. The establishment of BARMM is seen as a significant step towards resolving historical grievances and fostering stability in the region.
