    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.

    2012 Municipal and City Level Poverty Estimates in Armm

    13th National Convention on Statistics (NCS) EDSA Shangri-La Hotel, Mandaluyong City October 3-4, 2016 2012 MUNICIPAL AND CITY LEVEL POVERTY ESTIMATES IN ARMM by Driesch Lucien R. Cortel For additional information, please contact: Author’s name Driesch Lucien R. Cortel Designation Statistical Specialist I Affiliation Philippine Statistics Authority Address 16th Floor, ETON Cyberpod THREE, EDSA, Quezon City Tel. no. 376-1991 E-mail [email protected] Page 1 of 26 2012 MUNICIPAL AND CITY LEVEL POVERTY ESTIMATES IN ARMM by Driesch Lucien R. Cortel1 ABSTRACT Poverty in the country remains a challenge for many Filipinos. The growing prevalence of poverty needs efficient solutions and this can be done by managing the local cities and municipalities to easily identify the factors that affect poverty. Despite the many efforts of the government and even by some of the non-government organizations in their poverty alleviation programs, the poverty incidences at the city and municipal level in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) remains alarming. Thus, this paper aims to present the results of a study that generates the city and municipal level poverty statistics of the Philippines and use the statistics to assess the poverty conditions in the region for year 2012. In generating the city and municipal level statistics, an indirect small area estimation (SAE) technique was employed which follows a model-based approach. The city and municipal level estimates of ARMM were generated using the Poisson regression modeling approach based on the income collected through the Family Income and Expenditure Survey, Labor Force Survey (LFS), Census of Population and Housing (CPH), Barangay Listing (BL) and administrative data sets of the region.

However, historic statistic data have not been compiled yet as only in 2013 the report template was drafted by the OCD Central Office. OCD-ARMM started to prepare disaster reports of the main land provinces in 2014, following the draft template. Its satellite office in Zamboanga prepares disaster reports of the island provinces and submits them directly to the Central Office. Table 5.1 is a summary of the disaster reports for three flood events in 2014. Unfortunately, there is no disaster event record of the island provinces in the reports for the reason mentioned above. According to staff of OCD-ARMM, main disasters in the Region are flood and landslide, and the two mainland provinces, Maguindanao and Lanao Del Sur are more susceptible to disasters than the three island provinces, Sulu, Balisan and Tawi-Tawi.
