For the first time, Bangsamoro groups in Mindanao, including those in Sulu and Palawan, will write their comprehensive history from their own perspective. The project, a partnership between the National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP), the Bangsamoro Commission on the Preservation of Culture and History (BCPCH), and Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT), aims to document the history of 13 predominantly Muslim ethnolinguistic groups and publish a six-volume compendium by 2027.

“This is the first phase of a multi-year research project that aims to write a comprehensive historical record of Muslim Mindanao through the perspectives and voices of the Muslim majority ethnolinguistic groups in the Philippines,” said NHCP Commissioner Cecilia Tangian, also director of Center for Advanced Education of MSU-IIT.
“We are aiming to tap the community scholars, local historians, and cultural workers to highlight and put into writing unwritten stories of their communities from their own perspectives, and not by foreign, external, or Manila-centric sources,” Arevalo said. Dr. Faina Abaya-Ulindang of the Department of History and International Studies of Xavier University-Ateneo de Cagayan emphasized the importance of a participatory approach to history-making, involving local communities and oral histories.
