CONSORTIUM OF BANGSAMORO CIVIL SOCIETY
C B C S
VISION/MISSION
The Consortium envisions a society
governed by justice where all peoples are
respected of their inalienable rights to
self-determination, co-exist harmoniously
and live with prosperity and integrity.
The members of the Consortium are
bounded by the following beliefs and
principles:
1. We believe in our collective responsibility
to build peace in Mindanao and work for
development of Muslim communities through
participatory governance and leadership by
mutual consultations (shura).
2. We believe in maximizing available
opportunities for the cause of peace and
social justice.
3. We commit to advance the struggle for
freedom and self-determination of
Bangsamoro through peaceful and civil
engagement.
4. We stand for a critical collaboration and
constructive engagement approach in
relating with existing government institutions
and programs.
5. We commit to establish mutual
coordination with Bangsamoro Groups that
share the same principles but thread the
alternative and revolutionary path in our
common advocacy and activities for
Bangsamoro self-determination.
6. We strive to increase our constituency by
reaching out to the less organized and less
involved segments of the Bangsamoro
society, namely the academe, the intellectual
and the business sectors.

The Consortium is a solidarity conference of
non-government organizations and peoples organizations
(NGOs/POs) of and for the Bangsamoro. This was
organized to respond to the need of strengthening and
enhancing the capabilities of the Moro NGOs/POs
Advocacy Campaign for Peace and Development.
The Consortium serves as a mechanism of cooperation,
coordination and sharing among the civil society groups
with operation mostly concentrated but not limited to
ARMM areas where the Bangsamoro are sizeable in terms
of population and presence.
The Consortium was organized two years ago but takes
more active participation in advocacy work after it had
identified leaders and organizations who are willing to
commit themselves for the job ahead. It had also finalized
its structure and elected their officers in an assembly in
General Santos City as well as finalization of their initial
programs.
