Music and oral traditions have long served as vital instruments in peacebuilding, providing communities with a shared language to negotiate conflict and foster unity (Howell, 2022). This study examines two selected bayok texts—Bayok sa Ka-Khapal (Reunion Chant) and Bayok sa Kasimpala (Poetic Debate Chant)—to explore their role in promoting peace within Meranaw society. Using linguistic analysis on existing texts, the study investigates how these traditional poetic chants contribute to themes of social harmony and conflict resolution. Findings show that Bayok sa Ka-Khapal emphasizes peacebuilding through the promotion of unity and respectful reconciliation during clan reunions. The chant metaphorically links the gathering of families with collective strength and highlights personal demeanor as central to fostering meaningful agreements and lasting harmony. This form of bayok serves as a ceremonial invocation for restoring social bonds and reinforcing communal dignity. Conversely, Bayok sa Kasimpala addresses marriage issues by presenting positive impact of polygamy and emotional expectations (according to male Onor) and gendered peacebuilding (according to female Onor) perspectives. Moreover, the male chant supports polygamy from creating peace within the household through female solidarity, while the female chant often opposes polygamy. This performative debate promotes peace by enabling audiences to understand the complexities and varying viewpoints on polygamous marriage, encouraging empathy and dialogue within the community. Study suggests to integrate and utilize traditional narratives like bayok in youth and peace education to subjects like Good Manners and Right Conduct (GMRC) or teaching music unique in Bangsamoro region to instill values of harmony, responsibility, and ethical behavior.
