Abstract
This study explores the relationship between the civil society sector and the state in the conflict in Bangsamoro in Southern Philippines. This is the conflict between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), which has been going on since 1990. It is argued that the success of peace negotiations between the government and the MILF resulted from the intervention of the civil society sector. In particular, its initiatives for political participation in every level of government eventually yielded that success. The efforts of the diverse civil society organizations in Bangsamoro served both directly and indirectly to mobilize support for the peace process from the local people and policy makers under the uncertainty of the conflict situation and the complicated relationship between the state and civil society. This study applies the framework for understanding the role of the civil society sector and its relations with the state in a conflict situation, which involves both opportunities and limitations.
