Manuscript Info Abstract ……………………. ……………………………………………………………… Manuscript History Received: 15 May 2020 Final Accepted: 20 June 2020 Published: July 2020 Key words:- Pela-Gandong, Actualization, Pancasila The thing that needs attention to be studied is the actualization of Pancasila values in the pela gandong culture in Maluku. This problem is examined using a normative juridical research method with a legislative, conceptual and historical approach to address this problem. Based on the study, it was found that the pela-gandong culture reflects the values of Pancasila both tolerance among religious people, the existence of mutual assistance to help without strings attached, the existence of unity and harmony, in addition to the mutual agreement / oath pledged which was pledged as a manifestation of democratic values and the value of social justice also seen in pela-gandong culture. It is necessary to preserve and enhance and socialize to the younger generation so that it will continue to sustain the pela-gandong culture and indirectly ground the values of the Pancasila in the life of the nation and state.

Introduction:- Background: Since the beginning of its birth until the present situation, Pancasila has always experienced dynamics. The developments that have taken place with the Pancasila since they were born during the Old Order, the New Order, and even after the Reformation there are different interpretations which certainly will cause the dynamics of the national atmosphere and Indonesia administration. The Pancasila discussed is inseparable from the Unity in Diversity which is the watchword and philosophy of Indonesia. The pluralism of Indonesia raises various things that can threaten Indonesia which certainly threatens Pancasila itself. Darmaputra argues that Indonesia's objective conditions have made social and national integration difficult (Eka Darmaputera; 1997: 13). Indonesia's plurality can be explained geographically, ethnically, racially, cultural composition, economic adaptation, social structure and existing political systems (Ibid: 41). The fact that Indonesia is a pluralistic nation cannot be denied because of the diverse cultures and peoples of Indonesia. The context has a diversity of regional cultures and different regions. Communities and groups that live develop and develop into the strong character of the birth of Pancasila as a character and view of the nation's life with values attached to it from Sabang to Merauke.
