CONSORTIUM OF BANGSAMORO CIVIL SOCIETY


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 people's 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 in 2004 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 program.
