The One Bangsamoro Movement (1Bangsa), in partnership with a nationwide coalition of multi-sectoral Muslim organizations, officially endorses ten (10) senatorial candidates and one party-list for the May 12 national elections.
These endorsements reflect a shared commitment to fully implement the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB)—including power-sharing, normalization, and inclusive development in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region. Supporting these candidates is a vote for unity, justice, and lasting peace; a stand against hate and discrimination; and an investment in the future of Filipino youth and identity.
