The Bangsamoro Airport Authority (BAA), in partnership with the Civil Aeronautics Board of the Bangsamoro (CABB), successfully conducted its Community Awareness and Information Drive in the Municipality of Sultan Kudarat and the Municipality of Parang in Maguindanao del Norte, as well as the Municipality of Kadayangan in the Special Geographic Area (SGA). Held on July 27โ€“28 and 30, 2026, the campaign brought government services closer to the people by increasing public awareness of the mandates, powers, and functions of both agencies, promoting the Air Passenger Bill of Rights, and emphasizing the vital role of communities in responding to aircraft emergencies and ensuring aviation safety.

The initiative received the full support of Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) Minister Termizie G. Masahud, Air Transportation Services Director Razulden A. Mangelen, and was undertaken under the guidance of BAA Director Atty. Ranibai D. Dilangalen. Through open dialogue and active community participation, residents shared valuable insights and raised common concerns, particularly regarding airfare rates at Cotabato (Awang) Airport, the resumption of additional airline services such as Cebu Pacific, and other matters affecting air transportation in the Bangsamoro region. These discussions reflect the growing interest of communities in the continuous improvement of aviation services.

The BAA remains steadfast in its commitment to listen, engage, and take proactive steps in addressing the concerns of the public while strengthening partnerships with local communities. Building on the success of the first three municipalities, the Community Awareness and Information Drive will continue on August 5, 2026, in the Municipality of Datu Saudi Ampatuan, Maguindanao del Sur, reaffirming the Authorityโ€™s commitment to bringing aviation awareness, passenger rights education, and responsive public service closer to every Bangsamoro community.

DAVAO CITY | The proposed Bangsamoro Transportation and Communications Code moved forward at the committee level as lawmakers reviewed reforms to create a unified regulatory system for the regionโ€™s transport and communications sectors.

The Committee on Transportation and Communications continued discussions on BTA Bill No. 447 following the close of the regular parliamentary session on July 16.

The measure seeks to become BARMMโ€™s primary law on transportation and communications by strengthening the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC), institutionalizing its seven sectoral offices, and creating a long-term Bangsamoro Transportation and Communications Master Plan.

During the hearing, lawmakers and MOTC officials also discussed the need to strengthen BARMMโ€™s institutional capacity and reduce reliance on external support by maximizing the regionโ€™s own regulatory resources and revenue streams.

The code seeks to address fragmented regulation between national agencies and regional offices by consolidating regulatory authority within BARMM while recognizing the continuing role of national government agencies.

The proposed code covers land transport, maritime services, ports and terminals, airport landside operations, air transport services, telecommunications, courier services, ticketing services, and digital transport regulation.

Lawmakers reviewed MOTCโ€™s reform agenda, which includes stronger authority for sectoral offices, digital modernization, improved fiscal management, and a revenue-sharing mechanism allowing offices to retain 50 percent of collected fees, charges, fines, and penalties for operational and modernization needs.

MOTC officials said the proposed framework will strengthen accountability, improve coordination, and support more efficient transport and communications services across BARMM.

Committee Chair Zulfikar-Ali S. Bayam said the discussions are crucial in developing a comprehensive and practical code responsive to the needs of the Bangsamoro people. (LTAIS-Public Information, Publication, and Media Relations Division)

The Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) on Saturday, July 18, laid out transport reforms, service expansion initiatives, and infrastructure updates before the Bangsamoro Parliament's Committee on Transportation and Communications, as lawmakers reviewed the sector's performance and identified policy areas requiring legislative support.

Overseeing seven sectoral offices responsible for land transport, maritime services, ports, aviation, and telecommunications in the Bangsamoro, the MOTC highlighted developments from its attached offices, including the Bangsamoro Land Transportation Office (BLTO), Bangsamoro Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (BLTFRB), Bangsamoro Maritime Industry Authority (BMARINA), Bangsamoro Ports Management Authority (BPMA), Bangsamoro Airport Authority (BAA), Civil Aeronautics Board of the Bangsamoro (CABB), and Bangsamoro Telecommunications Commission (BTC).

Among the major developments presented were the nationwide recognition of BLTO issuances, the expansion of the ministry's district offices to improve public access to services, and the continuing rehabilitation of airport facilities in the Bangsamoro.

BLTO Director Razul Gayak said the LTO Central Office now recognizes all BLTO issuances, including driver's licenses, motor vehicle registrations, and miscellaneous transactions.

He added that the office has adopted QR-code-based verification for driver's licenses to strengthen authentication and is working to extend the validity of BLTO-issued licenses to 10 years.

MOTC Minister Termizie Masahud said the ministry has opened a district office in Datu Unsay to serve Maguindanao del Sur and nearby areas, with another planned in the Special Geographic Area through the proposed One-MOTC Integrated Provincial Office, which will serve as a one-stop center for transportation and communications services.

Meanwhile, BAA Director Ranibai Dilangalen said rehabilitation work at Awang Airport has reached 90 percent completion, while the first phase of rehabilitation at Sanga-Sanga Airport is expected to be completed and turned over in September.

She said funding has also been secured for the procurement of generators to ensure continuous airport operations during power interruptions.

Resource persons recommended strengthening information campaigns on traffic rules and road safety and proposed measures to improve compliance with maritime laws, vessel registration, passenger insurance, and local public transport route planning.

COTC Chair Zulfikar-Ali Bayam said the committee will reconvene Sunday to continue discussions on transportation and communications measures, including the proposed Bangsamoro Transportation and Communications Code. (LTAIS-Public Information, Publication, and Media Relations Division)
