President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. expressed confidence in Interim Chief Minister Abdulraof Macacua’s leadership of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority, emphasizing its role in ensuring a smooth shift to the region’s first parliamentary elections. Macacua replaces Chief Minister Ahod Ebrahim, who has led the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) since its transition from the former Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) in 2019. The President swore in former Zamboanga del Sur governor and ex-environment secretary Antonio Cerilles as Presidential Adviser on Mindanao Concerns, citing his decades of service to the region. The appointments come as the government intensifies efforts to sustain peace and economic growth in Mindanao, particularly in the BARMM region.
