M**F calls on international community to send election observers for BARMM polls

CENTRAL MINDANAO-Moro Islamic Liberation Front (M**F) Chairman and BARMM Interim Chief Minister Ahod “Al Hajj Murad” Ebrahim has called on the international community to send election observers for the first BARMM parliamentary elections scheduled for September 14, 2026.
Ebrahim extended invitations to diplomatic missions from the United Nations, European Union, United States, United Kingdom, Malaysia, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Brunei, Spain, and Norway.

According to Ebrahim, independent monitoring is crucial to ensuring a free, fair, honest, and peaceful election, which is part of the implementation of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB).

The election will replace the currently appointed Bangsamoro Transition Authority with an 80-seat elected Parliament, comprising 40 party-list representatives, 32 district representatives, and eight sectoral representatives.

The M**F will participate in the election through its political arm, the United Bangsamoro Justice Party (UBJP).

The election is considered a critical test for the peace process and is expected to have a significant impact on the future of autonomous governance and stability in the Bangsamoro region.(Garry Fuerzas-GMA News Sept 7,2026)

`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.
