TITLE: Philippine government races to rebuild Marawi city before end of President Duterte’s term

AUTHOR: South China Morning Post (SCMP)

Date Published: June 14, 2022

KEY INFO: The Philippine government is stepping up efforts to complete rebuilding the destroyed area in the southern city Marawi known as “ground zero” by the end of June. The current government had promised the city in the southern island of Mindanao would be completely rebuilt by the end of President Rodrigo Duterte’s term, which is due to end on June 30, 2022.

Justification: Marawi City was torn into shreds by ISIS, and the Philippine Government has ramped up efforts to rebuild Marawi City, and in a way this is connected to our social issue because, the evolution of armed weaponry is one of the things that lead to Marawi City to be in ruins, and the Philippine Government rebuilding Marawi City can be seen as a way to preserve it's culture. Marawi is a huge part of the BARMM region in Mindanao and is home to a huge portion of Muslims and their culture. Rebuilding it from Ground Zero can be seen as a way to preserve the history and rich culture that Marawi has.

KEY INFO: The Advocacy Poster specifically refers to APEC, which is an abbreviation for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation.

The protest sign shown in the picture is of indigenous communities' concern that economic growth and development, as encouraged by organizations such as APEC, threaten ancestral lands and cultures.

TITLE: Bangsamoro referendum: An opportunity for sustainable peace

AUTHOR: Richard Javad Heydarian

Date Published: January 24, 2019

KEY INFO: The creation of the Bangsamoro region provides an opportunity to preserve the cultural diversity and natural heritage of Mindanao's Muslim communities, such as the Tausug, Maguindanao, and Maranao. The region's rich ecosystems, including forests and marine biodiversity, require sustainable development policies that balance growth with environmental preservation. Effective governance is important in safeguarding both cultural identities and natural resources after the failures of the BARMM. The plebiscite also gives the local communities a stake in the newly formed entity as their interests would be represented there. Incorporating cultural and environmental education into community policies will therefore empower future generations to continue to preserve.
