2024 was a year of significant developments in the Philippines, marked by political tensions, natural disasters and progress in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). This news piece explores the challenges and achievements of the year, including the persecution of Vice President Sara Duterte, the devastating impacts of El Niño and typhoons, and the political landscape ahead of the 2025 elections.
2024 was a vivid tapestry of political, social, environmental and national security developments. Each thread was woven with its own challenges and achievements. On the one hand, I felt a deep sense of elation as I celebrated the transformative efforts of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao government and its development partners, as well as the inspiring contributions of the adolescents driving progress in the region.
The potential postponement of the 2025 elections resulting from the exit of Sulu from the BARMM, the influence of clan politics, the unfinished decommissioning of ex-combatants, and continuing security concerns from other forces within and outside the region are vital issues that need to be addressed to ensure lasting peace and stability.My entire period of residence in the uplands last summer was marked by extreme heat; it's possibly the hottest season I've experienced.
