In what is perceived as a highly patriarchal society, a woman tops the list of top performing solons. MBOpinions READ:
In the crucial assessment of the solons’ performance in BARMM, Mastura was followed by Mujiv Hatama of Basilan with 70 percent, though statistically tied at the top position. Yasser Alonto Balindong of Lanao del Sur 2nd District follows, while Zia Adiong of Lanao del Sur 1st District, Tong Paglas of Maguindanao and Cotabato City 2nd District, Munir Arbison Jr. of Sulu 2nd District, Samier Tan of Sulu 1st District, and Dimszar Sali of Tawi-Tawi complete the list.
Despite societal narratives placing the women in BARMM at a mere second to men or having been “helpless victims” to the armed conflicts in the region, the reality is, women in BARMM have played a crucial role as agents of change for peace and development in their communities. While violence, poverty, and underdevelopment have disproportionately affected Bangsamoro women throughout history, the recent years have seen a transformation.
A project participated in by mostly Muslim men, “Promoting Conflict Prevention, Social Cohesion and Community Resilience in the BARMM,” revealed that women have broken glass ceilings and men recognize the important roles women have played in resolving conflict. Gone are the days when women were seen as passive observers of conflicts.
