Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao

Philippine region The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (abbreviated ARMM ) is the region , located in Mindanao Island of the Philippines , that is composed of all the Philippines ' predominantly Muslim provinces , namely: Basilan (except Isabela City ), Lanao del Sur , Maguindanao , Sulu and Tawi-Tawi , and the Islamic City of Marawi . It is the only region that has its own government. The regional capital is at Cotabato City , although this city is outside of its jurisdiction. The ARMM previously included the province of Shariff Kabunsuan until July 16, 2008, when Shariff Kabunsuan ceased to exist as a province after the Supreme Court in Sema v. Comelec declared unconstitutional the "Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act 201", which created it. On July 18, 2008, Hermogenes Esperon, "peace advisor" to Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo , announced a further expansion of the ARMM in line with an agreement reached between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front . The deal, concluded after nearly six years of dialogue, gives the ARMM control of an additional 712 villages on the island of Mindanao , as well as far-reaching political and economic powers. Negotiations to finalize the agreement continue. Massive protests, however, have greeted the move of the GRP and MILF panels in signing a Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain as a majority of the Local Government Units where these Barangays are connected have already opted not to join the ARMM in two instances, 1989 and 2001. Finally, on October 14, 2008, the Supreme Court of the Philippines , by a highly divided vote of 8–7, declared “contrary to law and the Constitution” the Memorandum of Agreement on the Ancestral Domain Aspect (MOA-AD) of the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP)-Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) Tripoli Agreement on Peace of 2001. The 89-page decision of Conchita Carpio-Morales ruled: “In sum, the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process committed grave abuse of discretion when he failed to carry out the pertinent consultation process, as mandated by EO No. 3, RA 7160, and RA 8371. The furtive process by which the MOA-AD was designed and crafted runs contrary to and in excess of the legal authority, and amounts to a whimsical, capricious, oppressive, arbitrary and despotic exercise thereof.
