Sultan Masideng Marohombsar Salic of the Royal Sultanate of Tubok has been appointed as Commissioner of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on March 25, 2026. He formally took his oath of office before NCMF Secretary Sabuddin N. Abdurahim and officially assumed office on April 8, 2026.
Prior to his appointment as Commissioner, Sultan Masideng Marohombsar Salic served as Director IV of the NCMF for over a decade. His service spans over three decades across multiple administrations, having been appointed as Director IV during the terms of President Benigno Aquino III, President Rodrigo R. Duterte, and most recently, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
He also holds the distinction of being the first presidentially appointed Director IV of the NCMF, specifically the Bureau of Pilgrimage and Endowment, following the abolition of the Office on Muslim Affairs (OMA) and the establishment of the Commission. He entered government service in an entry-level position and progressed through the ranks, beginning as Budget Officer I, then Budget Officer III, and later serving as Chief of the Endowment Division under the Bureau of Pilgrimage and Endowment (BPE) of the OMA. He also served as Acting Director of the Finance and Management Service of the OMA during the administration of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
He holds a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) degree from the University of the East (UE) College of Law, and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, major in Accounting, from the National College of Business and Arts (NCBA).
The appointments by successive Presidents of the Republic reflect their trust and confidence in Sultan Salic’s knowledge, leadership, experience, and longstanding commitment to public service. His elevation to Commissioner underscores his extensive experience and sustained dedication to advancing the welfare, cultural heritage, and development of Muslim Filipinos.
