a. The BRIDGe Project
Background
The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) Regional Government through

the Regional Board of Investments (RBOI) embarked on the Project “Brokering Business
Investments in the Bangsamoro to achieve Inclusive Development and Growth (BRIDGe)”
aimed at increasing mutual confidence between the business firms and local communities to
increase investments in the Bangsamoro.
The Philippine Business for Social Progress (PBSP) and Hineleban Foundation Inc. (HFI) in
collaboration with the RBOI ARMM implemented the BRIDGe Project funded by the Australian
Government /Australian Embassy – Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT).
The formal partnership among the players of the project was sealed on January 23, 2017
through a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between PBSP and the ARMM
Regional Government (ARG) represented by RBOI.
To execute the Project, the ARMM Economic Growth and Linkage Cluster (EGL) led by
RBOI organized the BRIDGe Technical Working Group (TWG) with, DENR, DTI, DAF, RPDO and
CDA as members.

BRIDGe Accomplishments
e.1. Development of the BSFB
The BRIDGe Project gave birth to the Business Sustainability Framework in the
Bangsamoro (BSFB). It is a document that outlines recommendations to potential investors on
how to initiate new business in the Bangsamoro showcasing the experience and best practices
of pioneering investors which have thrived not only by themselves but in partnership with the
communities where they operate.
Underlying this business framework is the concept of “Inclusive Business” which

integrates and enables low-income communities to become part of the value chain of a
company core business either as employee, suppliers, distributors, retailers and customers who
are then able to access goods and services at affordable prices.
BSFB promotes a paradigm shift in building businesses, placing community engagement

as an integral part of the business plan and implementation.
Some of the guiding principles of the BSFB are the recognition of cultural practices and
heritage, compliance to standards and support to community development initiatives. Investors
need to understand this to encourage more investments & ensure sustainable business for the
future of the Bangsamoro.
Further, the heart of the Framework is the willingness and readiness of investors and
the communities to engage in a transformational business partnership that will result to an
inclusive, equitable and sustainable growth in the Bangsamoro.
The BRIDGe saw BSFB as a breakthrough just in time for a transition from the present
ARMM to the new political entity, Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
(BARMM). It can serve as reference of the new Bangsamoro government to prepare and
develop the required business environment and equip the investors the right information and
attitude to continue or put up new businesses in a new political set-up.
RBOI and BRIDGe- TWG participated

in Orientation-Workshop on
Business Sustainability Framework
for the Bangsamoro (BSFB)
Compliance Standards and
Development of Community
Engagement Benchmarking Tools
organized by PBSP in May 12-13,
2018 at
14Park Inn Hotel, Davao City.
Business Sustainability Framework in the

Bangsamoro (BSFB)
BSFB is composed of the following elements:
1. Community Empowerment – Empowering communities by ensuring their authentic

participation in relevant business process. As stakeholders, community members are
consulted represented in important decision-making processes concerning community
projects but may limit their participation in sensitive business decision-making.
2. Economic Development – economic growth is achieved through a combination of
sustainable livelihood enterprise promotion, employment, ownership and business
development. Local communities must enjoy stable and decent incomes as defined by
relevant standards and agreements.
3. Food Security – Companies to help ensure that the local communities within which they
operate have enough food on their tables. Companies may opt to support food value
chain development in production, processing, business linkage and marketing. Local
communities have access to affordable, sufficient, nutritious food.
4. Ecosystem Conservation and Protection – In every stage of commercial operations,
companies must warrant that the protection of the environment is never compromised.
There should be an active conservation program, a conscious effort at investing in the
protection and regeneration of natural resources.
5. Governance and Leadership –The success of companies entering less travelled roads
such as Bangsamoro rests on their ability to forge close cooperation and partnership
with local government institutions and local communities and their leaders. Shared
accountability and responsibility among government, business, and community
stakeholders towards mutual growth and development.
15
e.2 CLICK Concept
Another significant milestone of the BRIDGe project is the introduction of the CLICK
Concept. The CLICK is explained as Consult with Government;Local Leaders and Champion
Engagement; Inclusive Business Model Development; Community Validation and Acceptance;
and Business Operationalization and Feedback. In a nutshell, CLICK represents the steps in
doing business in the Bangsamoro.

e.4BRIDGe Capacity Development Trainings
BRIDGe TWG Capacity Building
One of the target outcomes of the BRIDGe project is to strengthen the capacity of RBOI
and the TWG to facilitate business Investments in the ARMM. With this, the TWG has
participated in a series of capacity building trainings and visits to model farms in Bukidnon and
Davao City organized by PBSP and HFI. The trainings include concepts on standards and
protocols on environmental compliance, Halal compliance, Inclusive Business, PhilGAP
accreditation, Islamic Financing, Sharia compliance, IPRA law, social marketing as well as on
investment generation and promotion.
This move in boosting the capabilities of

the BRIDGe TWG will help refresh, update
and improve their competences and apply
these leanings as ARMM prepares for
transition to the new government –BARMM
19
e.5. Development of the BRIDGe benchmarking tool
Along with the development of the BSFB is the formulation of a benchmarking tool.
The BSFB benchmarking tool will be used to determine the extent of community engagements
by companies operating in the ARMM. This will serve as a monitoring tool for RBOI to measure
the level of cooperation and working relationship between the company and community
towards achieving their common goals and mutual benefits.
Likewise, the TWG assisted PBSP in the documentation of business models and best
practices of successful investors in the ARMM. These companies made it in a region affected by
years of conflict by adjusting to the local culture and even became advocates of peace.
e.6. BRIDGe Resource Book
The documentation was captured in a published

Resource Book entitled “Engaging with the
Bangsamoro Communities: the Key to Sustainable
Business in Muslim Mindanao”. It was also
produced into two investment promotion videos,
the BSFB Framework and CLICK on Bangsamoro
ARMM.

C. Gender and Development (GAD) Accomplishment
The Gender and Development Program is anchored both on the international commitment and
local laws. The Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) is
an international treaty adopted in 1979 by the United Nations General Assembly. Described as an
international bill of rights for women, it was instituted on 3 September 1981 and has been ratified by
189 states.
The enactment of the Magna Carta of Women (RA 9710) has been regarded nationally and
internationally as a significant milestone in the empowerment of Filipino women. The law provides and
entrenched women’s rights particularly among those who are marginalized, underserved, and
discriminated. Furthermore, the Magna Carta of Women (MCW) promotes the full participation and
equitable representation of women in all spheres of society, particularly in the decision-making and
policy-making processes in government and private entities, in order to fully realize their role as agents
and beneficiaries of development.
In solidarity with the women of the world, the Regional Board of Investments-ARMM celebrated
the Women’s Month by participating in the events spearheaded by the Regional Commission on
Bangsamoro Women (RCBW).
The 2018 National Women’s Month Celebration theme was “Meaningful Change for
Bangsamoro Women Can Happen”. According to the Regional Commission on Bangsamoro Women, this
theme enjoins all Bangsamoro women to stand and break through fear and self-doubt as fear is the root
of many barriers that women face- the fear of being not liked, the fear of making the wrong choice, the
fear of drawing negative attention, the fear of being judged and the fear of failure. Moreover, this
theme calls for every woman not to hold themselves back in ways both big and small; to have
confidence and raise their hands and to lean in and make a meaningful change and aspire to become
leaders.
In line with this, the RBOI-ARMM GAD Focal Point System (GFPS) slated the following
undertakings: GAD Secretariat commenced the GAD activities by posting streamer in celebration of the
National Women’s Month, information on bulletin boards and conduct of announcement to its
employees.

1. National Women’s Month
The Regional Board of Investments-

ARMM participated in the kick-off ceremony
of the National Women’s Month last March 8,
2018. The activity was spearheaded by the
Office of the Regional Governor (ORG) in
partnership with the Regional Commission on
Bangsamoro Women (RCBW) along with all
the different agencies of the Regional Government.

This celebration resonated the call for gender-
balance in leadership and
decision-making positions in both public and
private sectors; inspire and empower women and
girls to be agent of change to contribute in
promoting gender equality and the empowerment
of all women.
2. Personality Development
The Regional Board of Investments-ARMM conducted a learning session on professional grooming

as part of its undertakings in improving the image of its employees especially women. Personality
development improves awareness and identity, develops talents and potential, enhance quality of life
and contribute to the realization of dreams and aspirations.

3. Tribute for Bai, Inday at Indah
Filipino women have gone a long way from the stereotype housewife to the more sophisticated
woman creeping into the corporate world of finance, information technology, arts and more
importantly, public service.
Our office, the Regional Board of Investments-ARMM recognized the loyalty, hard work and
devotion of its female employees. The enthusiasm and actions of women through their contributions in
promoting investments and livelihood development showed women empowerment in the real sense
that Gender and Development (GAD) Program works for.
With this, we pray tribute to our female employees by providing those services that they surely
enjoyed like foot spa, manicure and pedicure.
4. GAD leads the conduct of Wellness Training Program: Zumba
As part of the celebration of 2018 National Women’s

Month Celebration, the employees of RBOI-ARMM
conducted a Wellness Training Program: Zumba. Male and
female personnel sported their workout clothes and gave
their all-out participation during the activity.
The Zumba started with a warm-up exercise and gradually

progressed with different genres which maximized bodily
movements. The wellness training program was conducted to motivate RBOI personnel to have a
healthier lifestyle, considering that office work can be stressful at times.
