“The Role of the Youth towards a peaceful and well-developed communities in the Bangsamoro.”

The role of the youth in the Bangsamoro is the most valuable and important in today’s modern era. They have underplayed themselves in the field of politics and other related aspects. Our Young Moros are strong forces in social movements and a problem solvers.

We, as “Young Moros” have the ability to lead our fellow citizens into the right path. We fight for our identity in the society of equality, bullying, abuse, exploitation, extremism, poverty and other related problems which the nation’s faces today. 

The region is facing a lot of issues and concerns. We believe that our youths are capable of solving them. They just need to be given a chance to prove themselves. Our Youths have the power to unite individuals in the seven (7) ethnic tribes in the region namely; tausugs, maguindanaons, m’ranaws, yakans, samas, badjaos and the tedurays.

As part of the society’s development towards a peaceful and well-developed communities in the region, we just need guidance, support, good morals and values to handle conflicts in a positive way.

The primary role of our young moro people is to get a good education in order to become better citizens for tomorrow’s sustainable development. They just need to learn skills to do the job that out of the region’s economical needs. They also need to know how to write, think, understand, analyse, and discuss the issues of their community’s faces today. The entire success of the nation especially in the Bangsamoro region depends on our beloved youths. However, in order for continuous success to take place and make this possible, it is the Government’s responsibility to provide our young moros with proper facilities for getting equipped with the knowledge that can be use for today’s modern era.

Our Young people is the spring of life. It is the age of discovery and dreams. They have the power to transform our community into a better place.
