Our survey results are out! How are the youth likely voting in the #BOL plebiscite? What are the underlying reasons for their vote? Is their vote significant in the overall tally? Know more here: tinyurl.com/ybcg8b2v

Our survey results show that an overwhelming majority of the youth in the #ARMM who intend to vote in the 2019 plebiscite will vote YES to the #BOL. The BOL says that BARMM will be established if majority in the current ARMM (will vote as one area) will be in favour of the law.

When lumping the youth in the ARMM whether or not they intend to vote, the percentage of those in favor drops to 60%, which can still cause the BOL win. Know more about our survey here: tinyurl.com/y7h6v58h

Youth from Lanao del Sur & Maguindanao provinces show overwhelming support for the BOL. In contrast, majority of youth respondents from Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi provinces and Midsayap, Carmen, Pigkawayan towns in North Cotabato were each either not in favor or unsure of the BOL.

Of all the youth respondents, 83% said they were familiar with the #BOL. Sixty-four (64%) percent of those who are familiar with the BOL signified their intention to vote during the plebiscite.

Expectedly, the youth share the belief that #BOL is needed to address #rebellion. However, data also shows that the youth expect that the BOL will also help in poverty alleviation, countering and preventing terrorist activities, minimizing corruption, and fighting crime.

Youth were polarized the most regarding the impact of #BOL in the following issues. These show that it would be important to look at critical issues where there is disagreement. Those advocating for the BOL may consider putting more effort into addressing these issues.

The youth respondents voting in favor and those not in favor of the Bangsamoro Organic Law were polarized on how the measure will benefit non-Muslims. The youth not in favor do not think that the #BOL will benefit non-Muslims.
