MUNICIPALITY OF SULTAN KUDARAT HISTORY Nuling was the original name of this town when it was created by virtue of the Executive Order No.82, issued by President Manuel A. Roxas on August 18, 1947. The name “Nuling” was derived from the beautiful local bird called “Nuri”. Nuri has been the favorite pet one of the Sultans. However, the local leadership and its peace loving constituents want its name to be more symbolic with its significant historic events that took place in this fast developing municipality, thus, the late Congressman Salipada K. Pendatun sponsored a House Bill that become Republic Act No. 5647 and was signed into law by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos on Independence Day, June 12, 1969; an Act changing the name of the municipality of Nuling to the Municipality of Sultan Kudarat, in the province of Cotabato (mother Province of now the Province of Maguindanao, North Cotabato and Sultan Kudarat) in recognition and honor of Muslim National Hero of our country: Sultan Mohammas Dipatuan Kudaratullah. The late Sultan Mohammad Kudaratullah was the son of Datu Kapitan Laut. The original seat of the Sultanate of Maguindanao was located at the mouth of the Maguindanao River (now Matampay) but later transferred to the nearby sitio at the bank of the Nuling Creek of Barangay Salimbao of this Municipality. Sultan Mastura Kudarat, a royal lineage of the hero soldier Sultan Dipatuan Kudaratullah was appointed by American Governor Carpenter as President of the Municipal District of Nuling. The former, however, tactfully declined said and after and instead, designated his son, Datu Mamadra Mastura for the position, who served from 1922 to 1923. He was succeeded by the following executives: 1935 to 1945, Datu Baraguir Mamadra, first elected Municipal district Mayor of Nuling under the Philippine Commonwealth with Barangay Salimbao as the seat of the Sovernment of Nuling; 1945 to 1946, Datu Dagadas Taha, appointed by President Osmina through the recommendation of Former Congressman Salipada K. Pendatun of Cotabato Province. 1946, Datu Abas Mastura; 1946, Datu Ali Compania; 1947 to 1951, Datu Mokamad Mamadra, first elected Mayor of the newly created regular Municipality of Nuling; 1951 to 1955, Datu Osmena Mamadra; 1956 to July 1977, Hadji Datu Sanggacala Mamadra Bataguir, first elected Municipal Mayor of the newly named Sultan Kudarat Municipality (formerly Nuling). Almost ten (10) years later, after the creation of the regular Municipality of Nuling on August 18, 1947, the late President Carlos P. Garcia, aware on the development of the town, issued Executive Order No. 267 fixing the seat of the Municipal Government of Sultan Kudarat to Barangay Dalumangcon of the town. July 1977 to January 30, 1980, Datu Tucao O. Mastura, CPA, appointed by the President of the Philippines, Ferdinand E. Marcos; On the same year, following the assumption of Mayor Mastura, late President Ferdinand E. Marcos, issued Presidential Decree No. 1170, transferring the seat of Government of the Province of Maguindanao from the Municipality of Maganoy to the Municipality of Sultan Kudarat on July 11, 1977; January 30, 1980 to June 30, 1988, Datu Tucao O. Mastura, CPA, elected on January 30, 1980 by landslide votes of the people; July 1, 1998 to June 30, 2001, Bai Shajida Mastura-Bandila, first woman elected Municipal Mayor; In a plebiscite conducted on March 15, 2003, the electorates of this Municipality unanimously voted in favor of the creation of a new Municipality in the name of Sultan Mastura, being a son of Sultan Dipatuan Kudaratullah, better known as Sultan Kudarat. The New Municipality of Sultan Mastura has absorbed 13 barangays from the former leaving on 39 for its mother Municipality. July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2004, Datu Tucao O. Mastura, CPA, once again elected as Municipal Mayor unopposed; July 1, 2004 to June 30, 2007, Datu Tucao O. Mastura, CPA, elected again as Municipal Mayor; July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2010, Bai Shajida Mastura-Bandila, again elected as Municipal Mayor of the Municipality of Sultan Kudarat, Shariff Kabunsuan, while his farther, former Mayor Datu Tucao O.

    Ethnic and Religious Conflict in Southern Philippines: a Discourse on Self-Determination, Political Autonomy, and Conflict Resolution

    Ethnic and Religious Conflict in Southern Philippines: A Discourse on Self-Determination, Political Autonomy, and Conflict Resolution Jamail A. Kamlian Professor of History at Mindanao State University- ILigan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), ILigan City, Philippines ABSTRACT Filipina kini menghadapi masalah serius terkait populasi mioniritas agama dan etnis. Bangsa Moro yang merupakan salah satu etnis minoritas telah lama berjuang untuk mendapatkan hak untuk self-determination. Perjuangan mereka dilancarkan dalam berbagai bentuk, mulai dari parlemen hingga perjuangan bersenjata dengan tuntutan otonomi politik atau negara Islam teroisah. Pemberontakan etnis ini telah mengakar dalam sejarah panjang penindasan sejak era kolonial. Jika pemberontakan yang kini masih berlangsung itu tidak segera teratasi, keamanan nasional Filipina dapat dipastikan terancam. Tulisan ini memaparkan latar belakang historis dan demografis gerakan pemisahan diri yang dilancarkan Bangsa Moro. Setelah memahami latar belakang konflik, mekanisme resolusi konflik lantas diajukan dalam tulisan ini. Kata-Kata Kunci: Bangsa Moro, latar belakang sejarah, ekonomi politik, resolusi konflik. The Philippines is now seriously confronted with problems related to their ethnic and religious minority populations. The Bangsamoro (Muslim Filipinos) people, one of these minority groups, have been struggling for their right to self-determination. Their struggle has taken several forms ranging from parliamentary to armed struggle with a major demand of a regional political autonomy or separate Islamic State. The Bangsamoro rebellion is a deep- rooted problem with strong historical underpinnings that can be traced as far back as the colonial era. It has persisted up to the present and may continue to persist as well as threaten the national security of the Republic of the Philippines unless appropriate solutions can be put in place and accepted by the various stakeholders of peace and development.

    Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: trends and implications for local communities and indigenous peoples 4. Oil palm expansion in the Philippines Analysis of land rights, environment and food security issues5 Jo Villanueva Introduction In recent years, the unprecedented and rapid expansion of oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia and Indonesia, has spurred considerable concern in the light of its adverse impact on the environment, biodiversity, global warming, 5 This study has also been published as a chapter in “Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: Trends and Implications for Local Communities and Indigenous Peoples. (FPP & SawitWatch 2011). Oil Palm Expansion in South East Asia: trends and implications for local communities and indigenous peoples the displacement of local (and indigenous) communities, the erosion of traditional livelihoods, and the undermining of indigenous peoples and workers‟ rights. In Indonesia, oil palm expansion has contributed to deforestation, peat degradation, loss of biodiversity, ravaging forest fires and a wide range of unresolved social conflicts. In Sarawak, Malaysia, the impact of oil palm includes loss and destruction of forest resources, unequal profit-sharing, water pollution and soil nutrient depletion. In the midst of the increasing profitability of palm oil in the world market, the versatility of its by- products and its potential as a source of biomass in the food and manufacturing industry, a raging debate has ensued between and amongst civil society and industry members over whether palm oil is a necessary evil or whether the costs of this industry on lives, land and environment far outweigh its worth. Although considered a fledgling industry in the Philippine agribusiness sector and while its size is certainly small compared to the millions of hectares of oil palm plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia, the Philippines has been cultivating and processing palm oil for the past three decades.

    4. Resources, Security and Livelihood

    Violent Conflicts and Displacement in Central Mindanao 4. RESOURCES, SECURITY AND LIVELIHOOD This section examines households’ perceptions of their surrounding environment (e.g. security). It looks at their resources or capital (social, natural, economic) available to households, as well as how those resources were being used to shape livelihood strategies and livelihood outcomes such as food security. The results give insights into the complex interaction between, on the one hand, displacement and settlement options, and, on the other hand, access to basic needs, services and livelihood strategies. Services and Social Relations Access to Services Across the study strata, about one-third of the households ranked their access to services negatively, including access to education (22%), access to (35%) and quality of (32%) health care, and access to roads (37%). Respondents in Maguindanao ranked on average all services more negatively than any other strata. Disaggregated by settlement status, respondents who were displaced at the time of the survey were more likely to rank services negatively compared to others, with the exception of access to roads. Nearly the same percentage of households who were displaced at the time of survey and those returned home found the road to be bad of very bad (47% and 55%, respectively). Figure 11: Ranking of services (% bad - very bad) Two-thirds (67%) of the sampled households had children aged 6-12 years, and among them nearly all had children enrolled in primary school (97%). However, 36 percent of the households reported that their school-enrolled children missed school for at least a week within the 6 months prior to the survey.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT LEARNINGS IN TOURISM DEVELOPMENT South Cotabato has a land area of 3,706 square kilometers and a population of 827,200 (2010 Census) The province is part of one of the country’s fastest development clusters known as SOCCSKSARGEN officially designated as Region XII which consists of 4 provinces: South Cotabato, Cotabato Province, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani together with 3 component cities: Koronadal City of South Cotabato, Tacurong City of Sultan Kudarat and Kidapawan City of Cotabato province, 2 independent cities/chartered cities: General Santos City and Cotabato City. SoCCSKSarGen Cluster 2 Blessed with almost even dry and rainy seasons (typhoon free) and fertile soil, picturesque landscapes, and very unique tri- people cultures which have been nurtured and preserved through generations we are greatly challenged with the negative peace and order perception of South-Central Mindanao that made our very own Filipino tourists shy away from including us as a tourist destination. 3 Great advantage – cultural endowments, which can be positioned to make us a premier tourist destination. It is our “sunshine” industry - Tourism will give us a greater economic stability, fund our environmental rehabilitation and protection programs, and provide us stimuli or incentives for our tenured migrants to sustain our conservation efforts.
