LOCUS AND MAXIMS OF MORAL GOVERNANCE: A FRAMEWORK FOR THE BANGSAMORO GOVERNMENT

Abstract

Moral Governance has been the call of the newly established government of the Bangsamoro after a successful agreement between the government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Moral Governance is believed to be a crucial step against graft and corruption. However, this step raises questions about its locus and maxims. This paper aims to answer these questions by employing a literature review as an approach. Taqwa, Shura, Talklif, and Al-Amanah have been found as the maxims of moral governance firmly rooted in the Qur’an and Hadith. Thus, the application of these maxims leads to the desired outcomes of the Bangsamoro Government
