    Comprehensive capacity development project for the Bangsamoro Final Report Chapter 5. Existing Conditions of Flood and Disaster Management in Bangsamoro CHAPTER 5 EXISTING CONDITIONS OF FLOOD AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT IN BANGSAMORO 5.1 Floods and Other Disasters in Bangsamoro 5.1.1 Floods (1) Disaster reports of OCD-ARMM The Office of Civil Defense (OCD)-ARMM prepares disaster reports for every disaster event, and submits them to the OCD Central Office. 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.

It is also refer to its native inhabitants, many of them living along the river banks. Mindanao itself was derived from the word “danao” meaning “foundation of a river, lake or sea. Shariff Mohamad Kabungsuan, (the first Sultan of Maguindanao) of Johore, a Malaysian state, located at the Southern portion of Peninsula Malaysia is one of the most developed states in Malaysia. Shariff Mohamad Kabungsuan introduced Islam in Maguindanao (Mindanao) at the end of 15th century. He subsequently married to a local princess from Iranon tribe of Malabang and Maguindanao Province, and established the Sultanate of Maguindanao. The Cotabato Valley formed the sultanate’s heartland but its influence extended to Zamboanga Peninsula, Sarangani Bay and Davao. The Spaniards launched expedition to subdue the area throughout the colonial era but they never gained control of the region until the middle of the 19th century. During the American period, Cotabato became a district of Moro Province created in 1903 and the province of a Department of Mindanao and Sulu in 1914. In 1942, the Japanese Imperial forces entered, what is now Maguindanao. In 1945, Maguindanao was liberated by Allied Philippine Commonwealth Troops and Maguindanao Guerilla units led by its valiant and invulnerable Datus and warriors.
