Philippines
Context
The Philippines is currently ranked 19 on the Global Terrorism Index of 2024. Since June 30, 2022, a new government has assumed office.
In late 2021, President Duterte signed a law extending the transition period of Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) until 2025, postponing the first regional parliamentary elections. This has been seen as a positive move by grantees, given the slow rate of promised change in the region. A longer transition is seen as more likely to herald more inclusive representation.
In December 2022, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) P/CVE Programme Monitoring Office sought the support of GCERF and grantees for the planned repatriation, rehabilitation, and reintegration of more than 200 Filipinos Foreign Terrorist Fighters (FTFs) who are still in camps in Syria. Discussions are ongoing.

Becoming a respected individual involves demonstrating respect for others, especially to set a positive example for my children. Through the After Care program, I have gained valuable insights into which actions to avoid, particularly concerning my children. I have learned to carefully consider my words and actions, striving to instill only positive values in my children.
