Democratization, governance and poverty alleviation in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao


Centuries-old hostilities among the indigenous peoples of the Cordillera (which include the Kalingas) intensified in the 1970s with the entry of the national government intervention. At the center of the hostilities was the indigenous peoples' struggle for self-determination and self-governance. The study reveals that the Kalingas have different but highly desirable governance practices that existed way before the inception of the nation. Kalinga institutions are discussed and then evaluated based on themes of interest to public administration. Furthermore, the study examined the implications of the Kalinga system of governance to modern day administration of local and national affairs, particularly in relation to the desire of the indigenous peoples for self-governance.
