Bangsamoro Parliament wants SAP Antonio Lagdameo Jr. as IGRB co-chair

The Bangsamoro Parliament has formally requested President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to appoint Special Assistant to the President, Antonio Lagdameo Jr., as the co-chairperson of the Intergovernmental Relations Body (IGRB) representing the national government.

The IGRB serves as a crucial mechanism for dialogue and coordination between the national government and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), as stipulated by the Bangsamoro Organic Law.

This body is designed to address common issues arising from the BARMM's autonomous governance and to harmonize the exercise of shared powers.

The parliament adopted Resolution No. 775 to officially make this request, aiming to fill the vacant co-chair position previously held by former Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman.

Bangsamoro Education Minister Mohagher Iqbal currently serves as the co-chair representing the BARMM government.
