Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM)

The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) is a special political area in the Philippines that grants Muslim-majority communities a degree of self-governance. It was established to address historical conflicts and promote peace, allowing local leaders to manage their own affairs such as education, health, and culture within defined territories. ARMM operates under its own regional government, working alongside the national government, to better serve the needs of Muslim communities in Mindanao, fostering development, stability, and respect for their cultural and religious practices.
