Natural Resource Management – 2020
2020
Intermediate Implementation 
A plebiscite ratified the Bangsamoro Basic Law on January 21, 20191.[1] The law established revenue sharing for natural resource profits between the national and regional governments, as well as revenue sharing between the regional government and local governments. Additionally, the law required that Indigenous groups be given an equal share of profits from resources on their land. However, the specific mechanism and percentages were to be defined in later law.[2]
