This investigation explains the situation in the Bangsamoro. The peace agreement, which has resulted in the cessation of hostilities between the Muslim rebels (MILF) and the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP), has achieved what the Bangsamoro desired: wealth redistribution and autonomy. It is argued that the present condition can be described as a state of negative peace. Now, in order to sustain the peacebuilding process, there is a need to reform the institutions in the Bangsamoro. A truly inclusive system will require the integration of Lumads, Muslims, and Christians into a societal culture of a diverse region. This integral type of peace requires the sense of belongingness and the shared future among diverse groups. If the Bangsamoro must succeed, people should co-exist sans their prejudice against each other in establishing a just and equal socio-political order.
