Abstract:

This study is focused on three case studies of conflict in Mindanao particularly in the provinces of Maguindanao and North Cotabato, which at one point or the other have threatened the peace and tranquility of the local communities. The UNYPAD study looked into the Mangansakan and Tayuan conflict, the Abas and Sinsuat conflict, and the Bagundang and Manduyog conflict. The study aimed to produce an in-depth understanding of these three controversial cases of endemic clan conflict and to identify a concrete basis for conflict resolution. Future stakeholders in conflict resolution, like local and national leaders, peace-makers, policy makers, influential individuals, as well as the warring clans themselves, may use the results of this study as a tool to address the conflict. The end in view is to provide missing data and information in order to enhance peace efforts for conflict resolution in this part of Mindanao.
