Zusammenfassung: 
This study examines the ideology-driven armed conflicts in the Philippines and analyzes the peacebuilding elements that have contributed to durable peace across conflict-affected regions. Focusing on separatist movements in Mindanao and communist insurgencies in various places nationwide, the study traces the historical roots of conflict, including grievances related to selfdetermination, land dispossession, political exclusion, and socioeconomic inequality. It then develops an analytical framework for peacebuilding that synthesizes international peace literature with Philippine experience and institutions. Using qualitative methods, including key informant interviews with government implementing agencies and extensive desktop review of peace agreements, government policies, and program implementation reports, the study analyzes six core elements of peacebuilding in the Philippine context: confidence-building measures, peace agreements or preparatory instruments, socioeconomic development programs, permanent cessation of hostilities, political and legal settlements, and transitional justice and reconciliation. The analysis applies concepts from incentives compatibility and credible commitment to assess how these elements influence the strategic choices of armed groups, government actors, and communities. Findings show that peacebuilding initiatives are most effective when economic, political, and security incentives are aligned and when state commitments are perceived as credible and sustained over time. Socioeconomic interventions and immediate assistance help reduce the opportunity cost of returning to violence, while inclusive political and legal mechanisms address long-standing grievances. However, uneven implementation, delayed delivery of benefits, and gaps in institutional coordination continue to pose risks to sustaining peace. The study concludes with policy-relevant lessons and recommendations aimed at strengthening the design and implementation of peacebuilding interventions to support long-term stability and reconciliation in the Philippines.
