WHY GIVE YOUR QURBAN TO MINDANAO?
Mindanao is home to some of the poorest provinces in the Philippines. While poverty incidence decreased in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao @ BARMM, it remains the highest in the country1. BARMM was established in 2019 after a plebiscite officially ended the decades-old conflict between the revolutionary group Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Government of the Philippines. BARMM consists of 4 provinces and 1 city: Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, and Cotabato City. BARMM has a total population of 4.4 million.
Maguindanao became the perennial site of the decades-long armed conflict. Natural disasters and unstable political situation also exacerbated the situation and contributed to the province of Maguindanao becoming one of the poorest in the Philippines. Poverty and instability cause underdevelopment of many areas in Maguindanao. As aptly classified by the European Commission, the Maguindanao conflict is a “forgotten crisis2.”
Food insecurity is a leading problem for many people in Maguindanao and BARMM as a whole. It recorded the highest food insecurity prevalence in the Philippines at 84 percent3. Even with the establishment of BARMM, the past armed conflict and natural calamities have created intergenerational setback. In other words, the war has taken its toll on communities and this continues to affect their lives in the present day.
About 49 per cent of people in BARMM suffer from chronic malnutrition, while 45 per cent of children under five are affected by stunting – the highest prevalence of stunting in the country4. The COVID-19 pandemic, which reduced the incomes for over three quarters of the population in BARMM, has increased malnutrition in the region.
The above-mentioned statistics tell us that food and nutrition must be provided for the poor. ACT Malaysia has always prioritized food distribution in Maguindanao and Cotabato City especially during Ramadan and Eidul Adha. The Eidul Adha and the 3 days of tashreeq are excellent opportunities to feed the impoverished with protein-rich meat.
