The Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) in the Philippines differ primarily in their governance and cultural focus. ARMM was established to provide self-governance to Muslim-majority areas in Mindanao, aiming to address historical injustices and promote autonomy. In contrast, CAR is an administrative region that encompasses various indigenous groups in the Cordillera Central mountains, focusing on cultural preservation and regional development. While ARMM has a specific political and religious context, CAR emphasizes the rights and welfare of indigenous peoples.
The Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) in the Philippines is often referred to as the Cordillera Autonomous Region, but it lacks full autonomy primarily due to the failure of the proposed Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) and the subsequent delays in the realization of autonomy for the region. While CAR has some level of administrative governance, it does not possess the full political and fiscal autonomy that was envisioned in the original autonomy proposals. Additionally, ongoing challenges related to governance, cultural recognition, and the integration of indigenous rights have hindered the establishment of true autonomy in the region.
