`Peace projects’ in former NPA bastions in Cotabato launched

Local executives inaugurated separately on Friday, September 4, almost P30 million worth of infrastructure projects in four areas in Makilala town in Cotabato, meant to boost commerce in trade in the municipality, now free from the presence of the New People’s Army.

NPA guerillas once operated with impunity in hinterlands in Makilala, one of the 17 towns in Cotabato province in Region 12, close to forested mountain ranges around Mount Apo.

Radio reports on Sunday stated that Vice Gov. Ella Taliño-Taray led the separate inaugural rites for the projects of the office of Cotabato Gov. Emmylou Taliño-Mendoza, the road concreting in Kisante and in Garsika, P19.8 million, drainage and flood canal in Batasan, P3.6 million, and the flood control box culvert in Bato, P4.9 million.

Major Gen. Alvin V. Luzon, commander of the Army’s 10th Infantry Division based in Mawab town in Davao de Oro, said on Sunday that the four projects augurs well with the joint efforts of the 10th ID, the local government unit of Makilala and the office of Mendoza, who is also chairperson of the Regional Development Council 12, in keeping the peace now in the municipality, cleared from NPAs via multi-sectoral peace initiatives.

All of the towns and cities the entire Region 11, in parts of Regions 10, 12 and 13 that are being secured by units of the 10th ID are now all NPA-free, achieved through the cooperation of Army and police officials, former members of the now defunct rebel group who have returned to the fold of law, local executives, leaders of indigenous communities and various peace-advocacy groups.

Up to 347 NPAs from different Cotabato towns surrendered to units of the 10th ID and the 602nd Infantry Brigade of the 6th Infantry Division in the past four years through the joint intercession of local executives and Army officials and counterparts from the provincial police command.

Municipal officials had told reporters after Friday’s event that the projects will hasten the transport by farmers of their farm products to trading areas in the center of Makilala, hasten the mobility of students from their barangays to their schools and boost the operation in Kisante, Garsika, Batasan and Bato of local government emergency responders.

Voters in four towns in the Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area are ranting about wanton intimidation by a political camp that has a favored candidate for the 80-seat parliament of the autonomous region during the September 14 regional polls.

The Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area covers eight newly-established towns under the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, but are inside Cotabato, one of the four provinces in Administrative Region 12.

Villagers in the 2nd district of the Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area told reporters on Saturday, September 5, that their community leaders were summoned, one after another, by a candidate and campaigners and warned of "serious repercussions" if they support any of the four other aspirants for the parliamentary seat covering the area during the BARMM elections on September 14.

Among those who had complained of harassment are helpless elderly beneficiaries of the recent joint medical outreach missions of the Ministry of Health-BARMM, the office of Cotabato Gov. Emmylou Taliño-Mendoza and local executives in the four towns in the area, Ligawasan, Old Kaabacan, Kapalawan and Maledigao.

“Our community leaders were summoned by that political camp and warned of the bad repercussions of their being identified with candidates contesting the bid of their favored candidate for the parliamentary seat in our parliamentary district,” said a 70-year-old ethnic Maguindanaon man who had undergone cataract surgery facilitated early this year by the MoH-BARMM.

Residents of the 2nd district in the Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area had told reporters that they want the director of the Police Regional Office-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, Brig. Gen. Christopher Abecia, and Army Brig. Gen. Ricky Bunayog, acting commander of the 6th Infantry Division, to look into the issue.

They also urged the director of the Commission on Elections for BARMM, the lawyer Ray Sumalipao, to focus attention on their complaint.

"We are hoping for the deployment of more soldiers and policemen in our district to prevent that group from possibly cheating during the actual polling day," a 59-year-old Moro datu said.

Two Islamic missionaries, who requested anonymity, said among those subjected to harassment by what is from them a “shrewd” partisan bloc in the 2nd district of the Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area are missionaries in Islamic schools in their barangays identified with a more popular candidate for the BARMM parliament and had supported the medial missions of the MoH-BARMM in recent months.

The Army’s 10th Infantry Division based in Mawab, Davao del Oro dispatched its 28th Infantry Battalion last July to the Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area to help the 602nd Infantry Brigade of the 6th Infantry Division secure polling sites in its eight municipalities during the September 14 BARMM elections.

The 2nd district in the Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area is under the joint jurisdiction of 6th ID's 602nd Infantry Brigade and police units under PRO-BAR.

Sa pag-improve ni “Doc Jojo” ng mga hospitals, marami masaya

Nagpaabot ng kanilang pasasalamat ngayong Huwebes, September 3, kay Bangsamoro Health Minister Kadil Sinolinding, Jr., mas kilalang “Doc Jojo” sa buong Baangsamoro Special Geographic Area, ang mga local executives, kabilang ang governor ng Lanao del Sur, sa pagkaka-improve ng kanyang tanggapan ng tatlong mga hospitals sa kanilang probinsya.

Ganun din ang ipinaabot sa mga reporters nitong Huwebes ng iba pang mga local executives kaugnay ng pagkakatatag nila Doctor Sinolinding at ng mga local government units at ng mga regional officials sa Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao ng mga iba pang medical dispensaries nitong nakalipas na mga taon, --- sa Pura sa Datu Odin Sinsuat at sa Kabuntalan sa Maguindanao del Norte, sa South Ubian sa Tawi-Tawi, ang Aleem Mimbantas Memorial Hospital sa Masiu sa Lanao del Sur, at ganun din na mga facilities sa mga bayan ng Tipo-Tipo at Maluso sa Basilan.

Kabilang sa mga nagpasalamat nitong Huwebes kay Doctor Sinolinding sina Lanao del Sur Gov. Mamintal Adiong, Jr. at kanyang mga constituent-municipal at barangay officials sa probinsya kaugnay ng kanyang contribution sa pagkaka-improve ng Doctor Serapio Montañer Memorial Hospital sa Malabang, ng Wao District Hospital sa Wao at ng Tamparan Provincial Hospital sa Tamparan.

Ayon sa mga provincial at municipal officials sa Maguindanao del Sur province, malaki ang naging contribution ni Doctor Sinolinding at mga kapwa niya miyembro sa Bangsamoro parliament sa pagkakatatag ng Bangsamoro Regional Hospital sa Datu Hoffer sa probinsya isang taon na ang nakakalipas.

SA SPECIAL GEOGRAPHIC AREA

Matagal ng nakalatag ang planong pagtatag ng isang hospital sa Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area, may walong bayan na sakop ng BARMM, ngunit nasa Cotabato Province sa Region 12, ayon sa mga regional heads of offices sa autonomous regional government at ilang mga miyembro ng parliament.

Hindi ito agad naisagawa dahil may mga distinct issues itong kaakibat dahil ang Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area ay nasa loob ng teritoryo ng Administrative Region 12 na sakop ng Department of Health 12 at may panukala din ang mga pro-peace congressional representatives ng probinsya na gawing isang chartered province na ito. Nagtutulungan ang DOH at mga BARMM officials sa paglatag ng naturang plano.

Suportado nila Cotabato Gov. Emmylou Taliño-Mendoza ang pagsisikap nila Doctor Sinolinding na makapagtatag ng isang hospital sa Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area na nais na maging “Moro Province” ayon sa panukala ng mga kongresista sa kanilang probinsya.

Bagama’t wala pang malaking hospital sa Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area, abot na ng 6,019 na mga residente nito ang nagamot ang mga karamdaman, na-opera ang mga cataract at pterygium sa mga mata, nabigyan ng libreng gamot at mga pagkain, sa mga walang patid na mga medical missions mula 2022 ng public service teams ng tanggapan ni Doc Jojo sa 80-seat Bangsamoro parliament sa Cotabato City, ng local executives kabilang ang mga municipal mayors ng Ligawasan, Malidegao, Old Kaabacan at Kapalawan sa naturang lugar at ng Ministry of Health-BARMM.

Suportado nila Gov. Taliño-Mendoza ang naturang mga humanitarian activities nila Doctor Sinolinding, isang physician-ophthalmologist na nagpakadalubhasa sa India.

Makikita sa larawan si Doctor Sinolinding, kasama ang mayor ng Ligawasan na si Ismael “Boy Hashim” Mama at si Vice Mayor Jenaida Abas at mga kawani ng kanilang local government unit. (SEPTEMBER 3, 2026)

Isang school stage ang nakatakda ng itatayo ng mga g**o at ng isang pribadong kumpanya sa campus ng Danlag Elementary School sa Danlag sa Tampakan, South Cotabato.

Ayon kay Minglana at kanyang mga kapwa g**o sa Danlag Elementary School, malaking bagay para sa kanila, sa mga mag-aaral sa kanilang paaralan at kanilang mga magulang ang magkaroon ng school stage sa kanilang campus, isang matagal ng kakulangan na natugunan sa tulong ng SMI.

Tiniyak nila Minglana na kanilang gagawing maganda at matibay ang pagkakatayo school stage na ang materyales ay mula sa SMI.

Saksi sa pagtanggap nila Minglana at ng mga g**o ng mga construction materials para proyekto, mula sa SMI, ang lahat ng mga miyembro ng Danlag Barangay Council at ang kanilang barangay chairwoman na si Judith Magbanua.

Hiwalay na nagpasalamat sina Minglana at kanyang mga kapwa g**o at sina Barangay Danlag Chairwoman Magbanua sa inisyatibo ng SMI na magkaroon ng school stage sa loob ng campus ng Danlag Elementary School.

BARMM leaders all for peaceful Sept.14 elections

The five governors in the Bangsamoro region and senior regional officials on Wednesday, August 26, assured to support efforts of the Commission on Elections to ensure safe and credible parliamentary polls on September 14 in their provinces, where there are election hotspots.

They relayed their commitments to Comelec Chairman George Erwin Garcia during Wednesday's multi-sector dialogue on the preparations for the September 14 Bangsamoro parliamentary elections at the headquarters of the Police Regional Office-Bangsamoro Autonomous in Camp SK Pendatun in Parang, Maguindanao del Norte.

The activity, also attended by representatives from different political parties and regional police officials from Regions 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13, was jointly facilitated by Garcia, his subordinate-officials in the Bangsamoro region led by the lawyer Ray Sumalipao, Armed Forces chief of staff Lt. Gen. Antonio Nafarrete, the chief of the Philippine National Police, Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. and Local Government Secretary Juanito Victor Remulla.

The five governors in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao present in the meeting, Tucao Mastura of Maguindanao del Norte, Ali Midtimbang of Maguindanao del Sur, Mamintal Adiong, Jr, of Lanao del Sur, Ysmael Ali of Tawi-Tawi, and Mujiv Hataman of Basilan, are senior members of the BARMM Regional Peace and Order Council, whose presiding chairperson is Bangsamoro Chief Minister Abdulrauf A. Macacua.

All five of them and Macacua, figurehead of the 80-seat Bangsamoro parliament and is also overseeing all ministries and support agencies of the BARMM government, had assured Garcia to support the Comelec, the police and the military’s joint election security missions.

PRO-BAR’s director, Police Brig. Gen. Christopher Abecia, said they need at least 5,000 more policemen and policewomen to secure, along with personnel of different military units under the Western Mindanao Command, the polling sites in BARMM’s five provinces and three cities on September 14.

“The regional police offices in other Mindanao regions will help us address that by providing us with personnel support, under the guidance of our national headquarters,” Abecia said.

He told reporters that there are at least 4,000 organic PRO-BAR personnel for election missions, but still need augmentation from regional police commands in southern regions.

Police and military officials present in the conference, among them Lt. Gen. Donald Gumiran, commanding general of the Philippine Army and Army Major Gen. Jose Vladimir Cagara of the Western Mindanao Command, had told reporters at the sideline of the security meeting at Camp SK Pendatun that they are all set for the September 14 regional elections, the first ever since BARMM’s creation in 2019.

Adiong, who, as second-term Lanao del Sur governor, is also chairperson of their provincial peace and order council, told reporters that he and all officials of their regional political party, the Serbisyong Inklusibo, Alyansang Progresibo, whose members include more that 30 of the 39 mayors in their province, shall do their best to help secure polling sites on September 14.

“We can do that easily because our party is not an enemy of all the regional parties participating in this electoral exercise,” Adiong said.

An official of another partisan bloc, the lawyer Naguib Sinarimbo of the Bangsamoro Federalist Party, an incumbent member of the 80-seat Bangsamoro parliament, said all of their Muslim candidates for the BARMM parliament are ready to swear over the Qur’an and the Holy Bible, for Christians, to abide with state election laws during the September 14 regional electoral exercise.

“We shall do our best to help make the elections peaceful and free from anomalies,” Sinarimbo, chairman of the Bangsamoro Federalist Party for Cotabato City, who also attended Wednesday's security conference at PRO-BAR’s headquarters, said.

In a text message to reporters, the president of the Bangsamoro Party of the Moro National Liberation Front, BARMM Labor and Employment Minister Muslimin Sema, chairman of the MNLF, also pledged, on their party's behalf, to help prevent saboteurs from getting close to polling sites, in areas recognized by the government as MNLF bastions, during the election day.

"Our final peace agreement with the national government, the September 2, 1996 government-MNLF compact, compels us, MNLF members, to help secure the conduct of any state activity in our turf," Sema said.

Kakaibang taktika, ambag ng MNLF sa autonomy, naalala ng marami

Pinapurihan ng marami ang abogadong si Omar Yasser Sema, miyembro ng 80-kataong parliament ng Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, kabilang na ang mga kinatawan mula sa mga regional, pambansa at dayuhang organisasyong nagsusulong ng kapayapaan, dahil sa isang kapansin-pansing ginawa nito sa BARMM Elections Debate nitong Huwebes, August 27, sa gymnasium ng Notre Dame University sa Cotabato City.

Naging kapansin-pansin si Sema nang iladlad niya ang campaign tarpaulin ng kanilang partido bago matapos ang aktibidad, matapos ang halos anim na oras na talakayan ng mga kalahok sa entablado.

Kandidato si Sema ng Bangsamoro Party (BaPa Party) ng Moro National Liberation Front para sa parliament ng BARMM. Pangangasiwaan ng Commission on Elections ang kauna-unahang parliamentary polls ng rehiyon sa Setyembre 14. Si Sema at ang iba pang mga regional lawmaker sa rehiyon ay kasalukuyang nanunungkulan batay sa mga appointment ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr.

Ang pangulo ng BaPa Party ay si BARMM Minister of Labor and Employment Muslimin Sema, isang beteranong mandirigma ng MNLF na nakibahagi sa pag-aalsa ng grupo sa Mindanao noong dekada 1970 para sa sariling pamamahala ng mga Moro.

Ipinaliwanag naman ni Parliament Member Sema, na kumatawan sa BaPa Party sa BARMM Election Debate na inorganisa ng Institute for Autonomy and Governance sa tulong ng iba’t ibang organisasyong nagsusulong ng kapayapaan, ang hangarin ng kanilang partido para sa kapayapaan, kaunlaran at pagkakaisa ng mga Muslim at mga Kristiyano sa pamamagitan ng mabuting pamamahala at mga batas na ipapasa ng parliament ng regional government.
