Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao Governor Mujiv Hataman |
The
governor said the ARMM’s limitations made the efforts to develop the region
extra challenging.However, he noted the accomplishments of the regional
government to the shared efforts of everyone.
“Sinong
mag-aakala na magbabago ang indikasyon sa ating ekonomiya mula negatibo
papuntang positibo. From -.4% to 7.3%, at aangat ang sitwasyon sa larangan ng
edukasyon sa atin. Sa loob ng pitong taon nakasemento tayo ng mahigit 1,000
daanan na pinapakinabangan ng ating mga kababayan ngayon,” he added.
The
proposed BBL seeks to create the Bangsamoro political entity replacing ARMM.
The ARMM was established in 1989 through Republic Act 6734. Upon ratification
of the BBL in a plebiscite, as envisioned under the bill, the ARMM regional
government shall be deemed abolished.
Two
different versions of BBL were passed by the two legislative houses and a
bicameral conference is yet to start to finalize the proposed law’s draft that
would be submitted to President Duterte for his signature.
“Wala
pang pinal kung ano yung batas na lalabas para sa ating lahat dahil marami pa
ang proseso na dadaanan nito,” said Gov. Hataman. “Ito ang panahon na dapat
natin ilabas ang ating mga katapangan. Pambihirang pagkakataon sa atin
lahat."
The
regional governor called for unity among his constituents. With easy access to
social media, he urged everyone to raise the discourse online saying: “Sa mga
mahilig sa social media, baka ito ang pagkakataon na gawin nating objektibo na
tama ang ating mga pamumuna, kung ano yung ating mga kritisismo, kung ano yung
dapat palitan at hindi palitan,” the governor said.
Meanwhile,
he expressed his gratitude to the regional government’s employees and
encouraged everyone to continue serving the people. “Pinapaabot ko ang aking
pasasalamat kasama ng lahat ng pamunuan ng ARMM, sa lahat ng nagsilbi, ituloy
natin ang ating pagseserbisyo dahil hindi natin alam kung ano ang kinabukasan
ng batas na ito.” (By JONG CADION with Bureau of Public
