| Abstract | Bangsamoro moral governance is a novel concept and there are no studies yet situating the youth in its governance framework. This research is an initial attempt to analyze where participatory mechanisms have been enshrined in law to ensure meaningful participation by the youth in governance. To establish this, the researcher reviewed one-hundred and twenty-two (122) resolutions passed by the BTA-Parliament within a given period and juxtaposed them with the foundational principles enshrined in the Philippine Constitution. Data analysis is primarily textual, guided by social constructivism and governance theory as frameworks of analysis. An inductive-qualitative method was used as part of discursive deconstruction, which supports the objective of an interpretive (textual) analysis of each resolution considered in the conduct of research by allowing the researcher to establish the construction of meaning in light of Bangsamoro culture, context, and time. Key findings reveal that first, the Bangsamoro construct of participatory governance is inflexibly framed from four identified sources, which entails a very restrictive leeway to encourage participation. Second, the foundational principles of moral governance must be reexamined, as they are indicative of how moral governance is to be achieved. A reexamination may entail a re-interpretation to a more progressive stance on youth participation, especially in crafting legislations. Third, the Bangsamoro youth fit the governance framework by being encouraged to able to freely participate in the political process, with an assured seat for sectoral representation. However, this poses a challenge on the quality of representation of the youth sector as matter of policy. |
