For the first time on September 5, the Bangsamoro Government and the Mindanao Humanitarian Team (MHT) conducted a joint meeting in one of the island provinces of the region – Basilan.
“It is an important step to signify that there is relative peace in the islands, and that people from different countries can actually go there,” BARMM spokesman and local government minister Atty. Naguib Sinarimbo said during the 4th Kapihan sa Bangsamoro on Tuesday, September 10.
“For a long time, the UN (United Nations) agencies as well as INGOs (International Non-governmental Organization) were prohibited to send their personnel in the island provinces for security reasons,” Sinarimbo added.
According to Sinarimbo, the reason for conducting meetings in the island provinces was for the Bangsamoro government and its partners from the humanitarian sector to see the actual conditions of the communities so that they can respond better to the people’s needs.
He said the next joint BARMM-MHT meeting will be held in the province of Tawi-Tawi.
During the Kapihan, Sinarimbo also said the Ministry of Interior and Local Government (MILG) is now working on the cascading of legislation from the parliament down to the Local Government Units (LGUs).
“Unang-una dahil meron tayong panibagong batas,” Sinarimbo said. “Dapat merong context yung mga kasama nating LGUs kung ano yung bago at kung ano yung maaring makapagpabago sa areas of legislation.”
The MILG is holding a 3-day orientation and enhancement of local legislation for BARMM vice governors and vice mayors which started Monday, September 9.
