Maguindanao, Administrative division in Mindanao, Philippines

Maguindanao extends across 4,871 square kilometers of land in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, containing 37 municipalities and diverse geographical features.

The region transformed from the Sultanate of Maguindanao in the 15th century to an official Philippine province in 1973, marking centuries of political evolution.

The population includes Maguindanaon, Iranun, and Teduray peoples, with Sunni Islam as the main religion and Kulintang music as a central art form.

The province divided into Maguindanao del Norte and Maguindanao del Sur through a plebiscite on September 17, 2022, creating new administrative boundaries.

The region maintains independence while geographically encompassing Cotabato City, forming a complex administrative arrangement within the Philippine government system.
