Abstract

Southern Mindanao is tormented by violence of different scales since 1950's. While intriguing and interesting at the same time the presence of multiple judicial systems in this area is rather unknown to the rest of the world. This piece of writing, originally planned to be a research report, explores the presence and reasons for the rise of multiple judicial systems as an alternate justice system in Muslim Mindanao. Further this paper argues that while coexistence is risky, it is not much of an option to this conflict stricken area of Philippine archipelago.
