Bangsamoro Parliament
The Bangsamoro Parliament (Filipino: Parlamento ng Bangsamoro; Arabic: البرلمان بانجسامورو) is the unicameral legislature of Bangsamoro, an autonomous region of the Philippines. It is currently led by the Bangsamoro Transition Authority, an interim regional governing body. The inaugural session of the Parliament took place on March 29, 2019. The first session of the first regular Bangsamoro Parliament is expected to be convened in late 2026.
The Parliament consists of 80 members known as "members of Parliament" (MPs) who are currently appointed by the president of the Philippines. Under the present structure, 41 seats belong to nominees of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and 39 seats belong to nominees of the national government.
The Bangsamoro Parliament succeeds the now-defunct ARMM Regional Legislative Assembly, the legislature of the former Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
The 1987 Constitution provided for the creation of an autonomous region in Muslim Mindanao comprising provinces, cities, municipalities, and geographical areas that share a common and distinctive historical and cultural heritage, socioeconomic structures, and other relevant characteristics according to the framework of the Constitution, national sovereignty, and territorial integrity of the Philippines.
On July 27, 2018, President Rodrigo Duterte signed Republic Act 11054, known as the "Organic Law for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao," replacing the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) with the new Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. It provided that the region would have greater fiscal autonomy, a regional government, a Parliament, and its own justice system.
Article VII, Section 2 of the Bangsamoro Organic Law states that:
The first Bangsamoro Parliament is an interim legislature headed by the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA). The first set of members of the BTA took their oath on February 22, 2019. The effective abolishment of the precursor autonomous region, Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) took place following the official turnover of the ARMM to the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region occurred on February 26, 2019.
Pangalian Balindong was the first speaker of the Parliament, serving until his death from an undisclosed illness on October 2, 2025. He was succeeded by Mohammad Yacob on October 21, 2025. Sha Elijah Dumama-Alba served as the floor leader of the second interim Parliament until October 21, 2025, when she was elected one of the deputy speakers, and was succeeded by John Anthony Lim.
