May 4, 2026— A send-off ceremony marked the departure of pilgrims for Hajj Mubarak 2026, as they embark on a sacred journey to fulfill one of the Five Pillars of Islam — the pilgrimage to Mecca.

The ceremony was led by Chief Minister Abdulraof A. Macacua of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), together with key regional leaders and partner agencies. The pilgrims are set to depart from May 2 to 7 via Awang Airport in Cotabato, as well as Zamboanga, Pagadian, and Cebu gateways—ensuring a coordinated and dignified journey.

In his message, read by a representative from the office of the Chief Minister of BARMM, the Head of Strategic Communications Team, Sir Mohammad Abqari A. Alon, Chief Minister Macacua emphasized that the pilgrimage symbolizes a renewal of faith, devotion, and purpose among the faithful.

Echoing this, Minister Masahud described the occasion as “not just a send-off, but a celebration and a prayer for a safe journey,” capturing the spirit of collective hope surrounding the pilgrims.

Moreover, the success of the activity reflects strong inter-agency collaboration. Key institutions involved include the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC), through the Bangsamoro Airport Authority; the Ministry of Health (MOH); the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF); the Bangsamoro Pilgrimage Authority (BPA); and the Cotabato Local Government Unit, alongside the Provincial Government of Maguindanao del Norte.

Director General Roslaine Macao Maniri further highlighted that this marks the fourth time the MOTC–BAA has facilitated the Hajj send-off, demonstrating sustained commitment to efficient and reliable service for Bangsamoro pilgrims.

Complementing these efforts, the Office of the Chief Minister and the NCMF extended support through the provision of medicine kits and food assistance, ensuring the well-being of pilgrims throughout their journey.

In closing, Director Atty. Ranibai B. Dilangalen reminded pilgrims to remain vigilant, disciplined, and guided by instructions to ensure their safety at all times.

Ultimately, the ceremony stood as a powerful testament to faith in motion—reaffirming the Bangsamoro Government’s unwavering commitment to a safe, organized, and spiritually meaningful Hajj experience for all.

Cotabato City — April 29, 2026 — A major step toward improving government service delivery in the Bangsamoro region was marked today with the official opening of a new two-story office building adjacent to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) complex.

The facility formally opened its doors at 4:00 PM through a turnover ceremony led by Minister Termizie Masahud, signaling the handover of the building to its end-users—employees, constituents, and stakeholders.

Built to serve as a central hub for operations, the new facility is expected to significantly enhance the ministry’s ability to deliver accessible, efficient, and responsive services. Its strategic location beside the existing MOTC office supports stronger coordination and more streamlined government processes.

Designed with modern administrative and information management functions in mind, the building provides a more conducive working environment while reinforcing institutional capacity. The project reflects the government’s continued investment in infrastructure that directly benefits the public and strengthens governance across the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).

Officials highlighted that the facility will play a crucial role in improving service turnaround time, promoting transparency, and strengthening communication with stakeholders—key elements in building public trust and delivering citizen-centered services.

“With this facility, we are opening new opportunities for more efficient service, better coordination, and a stronger institution for the people we serve,” Minister Masahud said.

With its official opening, the facility is now fully operational and ready to serve the growing needs of employees, constituents, and stakeholders across the region.
