Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area
The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) of the Philippines has a special geographic area (SGA) in the province of Cotabato, a province which is part of the Soccsksargen region. This area consists of 63 barangays in six municipalities of Cotabato. These barangays were partitioned from Soccsksargen following a two-part plebiscite held in January and February 2019 which formed Bangsamoro after residents of said barangays consented their localities' inclusion to the new autonomous region. The municipalities these barangays are a part of, as well as the barangays themselves remain part of Cotabato. These barangays could be reorganized into one or more new municipalities, or be merged with any of the neighboring municipalities in Maguindanao province which is part of Bangsamoro.

Regions Of The Philippines
In the Philippines, regions ( fil, rehiyon; ISO 3166-2:PH) are administrative divisions that primarily serve to coordinate planning and organize national government services across multiple local government units (LGUs). Most national government offices provide services through their regional branches instead of having direct provincial or city offices. Regional offices are usually but not necessarily located in the city designated as the regional center. As of 2019, the Philippines is divided into 17 regions. 16 of these are mere administrative groupings, each provided by the president of the Philippines with a regional development council (RDC) – in the case of the National Capital Region (Metro Manila), an additional metropolitan authority serves as the coordinating and policy-making body. Only one, the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, has an elected government and parliament to which the Congress of the Philippines has delegated certain powers and respon ...

Encomiendas were organized only for the purposes of collecting tribute that went in part to the Roman Catholic Church, the Spanish army, and to the Royal Treasury. Later on areas which were organized and given the designati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
