Formally known as the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), the region was established to honor the distinct heritage and acknowledge the aspirations of the Bangsamoro people in Mindanao.
The Bangsamoro abounds with historical and religious sites, natural wonders, and vibrant cultural festivals.
Key attractions include the Grand Mosque of Cotabato, the Sheik Karimol Makhdum Mosque, Lake Lanao, the Turtle Islands Wildlife Sanctuary, Bongao Peak, and the pristine, unspoilt beaches of Tawi-Tawi.
The region is home to a broad collection of ethnolinguistic groups, each contributing to the region’s cultural diversity.
