Bangsamoro, Autonomous region in southern Philippines
The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region spans several provinces including Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, and Basilan, with Cotabato City serving as its administrative center.
The region evolved from the Moro Province, established in 1903 under American colonial rule, which included Zamboanga, Lanao, Cotabato, Davao, and Jolo districts.
The region maintains its Islamic traditions through local architecture, festivals, and community practices while incorporating influences from various indigenous tribes of Mindanao.
The Bangsamoro Parliament functions as the primary governing body, with representatives elected from designated parliamentary districts established by the Transition Authority.
Among the seventeen regions of the Philippines, Bangsamoro stands as the sole territory with an elected government operating under autonomous authority.
