Bangsamoro Parliament

Bangsamoro Parliament is the legislative body of the autonomous region in Mindanao and has 80 members representing different districts and population groups. These lawmakers meet at the Bangsamoro Government Center to discuss and decide on policies for the region.

The parliament was established in 2019 and took over responsibility from the previous regional legislative assembly. This change marked a turning point in how the region governed itself and organized its political structure.

The parliament represents the region's many communities and gives voice to their concerns in lawmaking. You can see how local traditions shape the way decisions are made and debated in the chamber.

The building is located in the center of Cotabato City as part of the Bangsamoro Government Center, which houses all major regional offices. Visitors can explore the surrounding grounds, though access to the chamber is usually restricted during sessions.

The parliament uses a special voting system that blends traditional winner-take-all elections with proportional representation methods. This system ensures that smaller groups can also gain seats in the legislature.
