COTABATO City – Newly appointed Bangsamoro Interim Chief Minister Abdulraof Macacua has pledged to ensure the continuity of government services in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
Macacua, who assumed office at the Bangsamoro Government Center on Thursday morning, made the commitment in front of thousands of supporters and members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
Speaking to reporters, Macacua said he is committed to maintaining close coordination with the MILF to ensure peace, stability, and moral governance in BARMM.
