The Bangsamoro Government Center complex houses the offices of various instrumentalities of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao local government including the Offices of the Wali and the Chief Minister, the Parliament, ministries and other agencies under the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.[4]
It formerly served as the executive office of Regional Governor of the now defunct-Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. Nicknamed as the "Little Malacañan of the South", it was built in 1976 by then-President Ferdinand Marcos. The building was formerly known as the Office of the Regional Governor (ORG). The building was renamed as the Office of the Bangsamoro People upon the completion of its seven-month renovation on July 30, 2014. The building also includes a 200sqm prayer room.
