Episode 35 Understanding Muslim MIndanao with Prof. Yasmira Moner

The P*I* Podcast

We take a detour from our usual topics and explore an increasingly important region in the Philippines, Muslim Mindanao. While the region is often associated with conflict and other pejorative stereotypes, our guest, Yashira Moner, shows us that Muslim Mindanao is far more complex; that there is much to learn from Mindanaoan culture and politics. We also discuss a variety of political, cultural, and administrative issues that continue to challenge the development of Mindanao and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. 0:00 Music 0:10 Intro 3:54 Guest: Yasmira Moner 4:40 Why Yasmira Moner specializing in Mindanao politics? 5:50 What is Muslim Mindanao? 13:35 Misinformaton about Mindanao 19:10 The goal of Muslim Mindanao 22:00 What is BARMM? 33:20 ARMM vs. BARMM 35:36 Muslim Mindanao and Democratisation 42:50 Muslim Mindanao vs. Islam in general 50:00 Filipino Muslims: Conservative or Progressive? 58:00 What are the pressing issues of Muslim Mindanao 1:02:14 Patronage politics 1:07:00 Fiscal policy 1:08:20 Territorial and Administrative issues 1:11:00 Economic Centers of BARMM 1:13:25 What is the ideal relationship between BARMM and Manila? 1:21:15 Muslim Mindanao and 2022 Elections 1:28:30 Final Remarks 1:36:00 Recommendation Sources: Thy Womb (2012) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2395459/ Mindanao (2019) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11519610/ Recommendations Making Mindanao: Cotabato and Davao in the Formation of the Philippine Nation-State (Expanded Edition) by Patricio Abinales https://shopee.ph/Making-Mindanao-Cotabato-and-Davao-in-the-Formation-of-the-Philippine-Nation-State(Expanded-Edition)-i.75162109.7933757564?sp_atk=fe7c6f4e-4e19-468f-9706-d26877db85bb&xptdk=fe7c6f4e-4e19-468f-9706-d26877db85bb Orthodoxy and History in the Muslim-Mindanao Narrative by Patricio Abinales https://shopee.ph/Orthodoxy-and-History-in-the-Muslim-Mindanao-Narrative-i.75162109.4532622086?sp_atk=c10767f5-8f2f-4523-8523-9861f1b23bb7&xptdk=c10767f5-8f2f-4523-8523-9861f1b23bb7y Transfiguring Mindanao: A Mindanao Reader https://shopee.ph/Transfiguring-Mindanao-A-Mindanao-Reader-i.75162109.20514095065?sp_atk=a6244e27-460a-437b-b4cf-fad98d300130&xptdk=a6244e27-460a-437b-b4cf-fad98d300130 Two hills of the same Land by Rad D.
