Officials of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), including Chief Minister Abdulraof Macacua and the region’s five provincial governors, have declared full support for President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s intensified campaign against corruption.
“The Bangsamoro government stands with President Marcos in this campaign, united in the belief that honest governance is the foundation of peace, development, and a better future for all Filipinos,” the BARMM said in a public statement issued Thursday.
BARMM officials lauded the President’s “clarity and decisiveness” in establishing the Independent Commission for Infrastructure and ordering the freezing of assets tied to anomalous flood-control projects, moves they said demonstrated the administration’s resolve to confront “one of the country’s most persistent challenges.”
The declaration was signed by Macacua, along with governors Mujiv Hataman of Basilan, Mamintal Adiong of Lanao del Sur, Tucao Mastura of Maguindanao del Norte, Ali Midtimbang of Maguindanao del Sur, and Yshmael Sali of Tawi-Tawi.
They also commended the President for directing concerned agencies to recover stolen public funds and for requiring that all cases be built on “strong, irrefutable evidence.”
“These firm, deliberate, and measurable actions reflect a leadership focused not on spectacle but on real governance,” they said.
“They protect communities, restore trust in government, and remind the nation that public service must remain sacred,” it added.
