Before the postponement of the first Parliamentary Elections for the BARMM in October 2025, the History Department organized a two-part seminar series in September 2025 to help students deepen their understanding of the Bangsamoro. The sessions focused on:

(1) Bangsamoro Struggle and Moral (Moro) Governance; and
(2) The importance of preserving peace agreements and historical documents to protect the long-term peace process in Mindanao for future generations.

𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝟬𝟭: 𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗦𝗔𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗢 𝟭𝟬𝟭

This seminar introduced the historical roots of the Bangsamoro, including why the Moro people have long asserted their right to self-determination: the BARMM as the collective aspirations of our ancestors. Also, it highlighted the significance of the first BARMM Parliamentary Elections as a historic milestone that will shape the future identity and political journey of the Moro people in Mindanao. Because of this, the event has explained the distinction between Moral and Good Governance, and how these might shape the transition of authority in the Bangsamoro Region.

𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝟬𝟮: 𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗚𝗦𝗔 𝗦𝗔 𝗞𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗪

In partnership with the IPDM MSU Marawi, the offices hosted the “Bangsa sa Kalinaw Project” of the NCCA, which supports the inscription of the Bangsamoro Peace Accords in the UNESCO Memory of the World (MoW) Register. This half-day forum engaged Bangsamoro youth and students on the importance of preserving the memory of the peace process—emphasizing that peace must be remembered, honored, and carried forward as a collective responsibility. To sustain peace, we must inherit memory, not amnesia. Registering the Bangsamoro Peace Accords in the UNESCO MoW safeguards the narratives, truth, and legacy of the Bangsamoro struggle and peace journey.

If history is not remembered, the world forgets our experiences and our identity—“us.” If the essence of BARMM as a peace achievement is not understood, how can its gains endure?

To add, speakers in a public forum were: 𝘿𝙧. 𝘼𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙢 𝙇𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙥𝙝 𝙤𝙛 𝙄𝙋𝘿𝙈, 𝘿𝙧. 𝙉𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙛 𝙈𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙋𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙮 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙇𝙚𝙜𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝘽𝙏𝘼-𝘽𝘼𝙍𝙈𝙈, 𝘿𝙧. 𝙅𝙪𝙣𝙨𝙪-𝙎𝙚𝙤 𝙤𝙛 𝙄𝘾𝘿𝙃, 𝙎𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙝 𝙆𝙤𝙧𝙚𝙖, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙈𝙨. 𝙎𝙖𝙢 𝙊𝙝 𝙖𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧. Lastly, it was gracefully ended by the performance of the 𝘒𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘸𝘢𝘵 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦.

* * * *

This is a rare opportunity for MSU-Marawi, Main Campus, and our Department to be the first institution in Mindanao internationally recognized as a nominator for the inscription of the Peace Accords in UNESCO’s Memory of the World (MoW). This marks a significant objective towards one of the MSU System's key agendas: to become a leading peace university in Mindanao, and in the country.

Most importantly, this is one of initiatives of the History Department to preserve documents, and guard the Bangsamoro grievances and truth.

Finally, the department extends its gratitude to the faculty who contributed to the success of these events:

𝘿𝙧. 𝘼𝙗𝙪𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙖𝙧 𝘼. 𝘼𝙡𝙞, Lead Coordinator for Bangsamoro 101;
𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙛. 𝘼𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙋𝙧𝙤𝙛. 𝙔𝙪𝙨𝙤𝙥𝙝 for co-leading the Bangsa sa Kalinaw program with IPDM—Prof. Alonto, who served as a speaker in the public forum in Manila and a signatory to the UNESCO MoW inscription proposal; and Prof. Yusoph, who served as a speaker for Part 02 of the event.
