Abstract
Subject Creation of new Bangsamoro region. Significance Early next year, plebiscites will be held in the current Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and other areas over the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL), which replaces the ARMM with a Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). President Rodrigo Duterte signed the BOL into law in late July, concluding more than two decades of peace talks between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), which is the largest Moro insurgent group, and the Philippine government. Impacts The BOL will likely be challenged in the Supreme Court. The legislation could remove one of the main justifications for Philippine federalism. Supporters of a Cordillera autonomous region in north-central Luzon will be emboldened to push for more.
