History

Wikisource has original text related to this article:

Under the Bangsamoro Organic Law, the charter of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) which succeeded the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) is entitled to have its own regional flag and emblem.[1]

The Bangsamoro Parliament passed Parliament Bill No. 8 which is also known as "An Act Adopting an Official Seal of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao". The measure was passed on its third and final reading on August 29, 2019[2][3] and was signed into law on September 6, 2019 by Chief Minister Murad Ebrahim as Bangsamoro Autonomy Act No. 2.[4][5]

Design

The design Bangsamoro seal by the Bangsamoro parliament consists of a circular seal featuring a yellow crescent containing a seven-pointed star on a green circular field. The seal is encircled by a rope motif and a thin red inner strip. The rope signifies the unity of the region's ethnic groups, and the red strip represents the blood of the mujaheddin who fought for the self determination of the region's people, the crescent stands for the "guiding principles" of the region's people who fought for self determination.[2] The inclusion of the rope was inspired from the verse 3:103 of the Quran, which states "Hold tight to the rope of Allah, together. And be not divided".[4]

The seven pointed star represents the component local governments of the region; the provinces of Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sulu and Tawi Tawi, Cotabato City, and the Bangsamoro barangays in Cotabato.[2] The seal contains the full name of the Bangsamoro region in English.[3] A variant of the seal in Arabic[6] is also official.[5]
