Posted to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) Website (Sep 22, 2019): Bangsamoro Parliament passes bills on BARMM Official Flag and Emblem

The Bangsamoro Flag

Cotabato City- The Bangsamoro Parliament of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) recently approved in two separate sessions two important bills at SKCC Complex, BARMM Compound Cotabato City.

The Bill No. 1, entitled: “An act adopting an Official Flag of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao was passed by the Bangsamoro Parliament on August 23, 2019.

The Crescent in the Bangsamoro Official Flag symbolized the historical background of the Bangsamoro struggle for Self-determination. While, the seven-rayed Star represents the five (5) provinces of Maguindanao, Lanao del sur including the City of Marawi, Basilan including the City of Lamitan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, the City of Cotabato City, and the 63 barangays of North Cotabato that composed the Bangsamoro and other indigenous people in the Bangsamoro territory.

The 63 barangays opted to join the Bangsamoro during a plebiscite held early this year.

Both the “Crescent and Star” colored golden yellow signify the bright future of the Bangsamoro in the BARMM. The “Kris” in the middle red portion symbolizes the protection and resistance of the Bangsamoro and other indigenous peoples in the Bangsamoro territory against oppression, tyranny, and injustice.

The Bangsamoro Flag shall always be regarded with utmost respect and admiration. The Philippine Flag shall always be displayed alongside with the Bangsamoro. Other offices of the Bangsamoro outside its area of autonomy are likewise required to use and display the Bangsamoro Flag, pursuant to Section 2, Art. II of RA 11054.
