About the book
The peace agreement signed in Malacañang on 27 March 2014 between the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, with its annexes on transition, revenue, power sharing and normalisation. Free to read.
The Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro is the final peace agreement between the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. It was signed at Malacañang Palace on 27 March 2014, after 17 years of talks, 12 of them facilitated by Malaysia. It brings together the agreements the 2 sides signed along the way: the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro of October 2012, its 4 annexes on Transitional Arrangements and Modalities, Revenue Generation and Wealth Sharing, Power Sharing and Normalization, and the Addendum on Bangsamoro Waters.
The agreement runs on 2 tracks. On the political track, a new autonomous Bangsamoro would replace the ARMM. Of 81 listed powers, 58 would go to the Bangsamoro, 9 would stay with the central government and 14 would be shared. On the normalization track, the MILF would decommission its armed wing, the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces. The agreement led, through the Bangsamoro Organic Law, to the creation of the BARMM in 2019.
