5 governors back interim BARMM chief minister

Five provincial governors have publicly backed interim Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Chief Minister Abdulraof Macacua, signaling a newfound unity as the region's transition period extends to 2026.

This support comes after a period of significant political friction where the governors had previously voiced concerns about marginalization by the regional government.

The governors of Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao del Norte, Maguindanao del Sur, and Tawi-Tawi lauded Macacua's inclusive governance, citing renewed cooperation and a shared purpose in advancing peace and development.

They specifically praised Macacua's dedication to good governance and his efforts in fostering close partnerships with local government units, which they believe have strengthened their resolve to work together for the progress of the Bangsamoro people.
