REASONS FOR THE PROJECT
• Language is one of the symbol of our identity
as people having own tradition and rich
culture
• Proper using of Maranao language is one
way to preserve our culture
• Genuine Maranao Language is diminishing
because of acculturation and media impacts
• Learning Genuine Maranao language
enhances discipline and 7ks values among
Maranao
• Best tools to communicate and facilitate
conflicts
• Uniqueness and being proud of as Maranao
• Usage the indigenous language are
important to all social gatherings
General Situation
• Clan feuding is one among the prevalent
social phenomenon existing in Lanao
Provinces;
• Political Conflicts, Land Disputes, Debt , Illegal
drugs and cases related to woman are among
the triggering factors for clan feuding.
• Poor governance, values distortion, poor
education and poverty incidence are the major
causes of violence.
• Unequal distribution of resources, poor
monitoring and evaluation system and
negligence of responsibilities from Local and
Central government continue the cycle of
violence in the local area.
• Existence of war between Government and
Revolutionary Group increased the number of
victims, poverty incidence and other forms of
violence
General Problem
• Traditional structure and leaders
disempowered for many decades.
• Acculturation, assimilation and media
intervention fades the culture and
customary practice among Maranao.
• Identity crises always serve as main issues
among Moro-Maranao tribe as people.
• Few individuals knew the indigenous
Maranao language used for conflict
resolution and other social formal activities.
• No programs and supports of the
government and other institutions in
preserving the culture and values among
Maranao tribe.
Community Needs Assessment
-Only few institution are concerns for the cultural
preservation among Maranao tribe. Museum are
not available much more on the teachings of the
cultures and traditions.
-Few Numbers of Traditional leaders left who could
transfer the indigenous language among Maranao.
-Clan feuding is very rampant because of complex
reasons and thus the effective tools for its
resolutions are traditional mechanisms.
-One of the effective tools for traditional
mechanism is the usage of indigenous terms
and its protocol.
- The Youth today who are expected to transform
the community in present and future should be
trained on the Indigenous language for them to
become more effective future mediators.
