"𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗣 𝗗𝗮𝗻 𝗦. 𝗔𝘀𝗻𝗮𝘄𝗶𝗲"

Amidst the challenging issues currently confronting the leadership of the BARMM and the BTA-Parliament, I wish to express my sincere appeal for unity, cooperation, and steadfast commitment to our shared mandates for our Bangsamoro Inhabitants taking advantage the joy and wisdom this upcoming holy month of Ramadhan 2026.

As a member of the BTA and concurrently serving 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗙-𝗕𝗜𝗔𝗙 𝟭𝟭𝟰𝘁𝗵 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱, 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗻, I firmly believe that this period calls not for division, but for stronger collaboration between the UMPUNGAN leadership and the BARMM considering it is the product of decades of sacrifices, hardship and most of all collective struggle of the Bangsamoro people.

The gains of the Peace Process were not achieved overnightly. They are the products of decades of sacrifices, dialogue, negotiations and perseverance. Hence, it must be preserved by all possible means. The historic signing of the Comprehensive Agreement of the Bangsamoro (CAB) and subsequent enactment of the Bangsamoro Organic Law embodied the collective aspirations of the Bangsamoro people for genuine Autonomy, Justice and Lasting Peace.

At this critical juncture, I respectfully call upon both the M**F Central Committee and the BARMM Government to work hand in hand, guided by the 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗼𝗺 of the month of 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗵𝗮𝗻 and letter of these foundational agreements. Our shared responsibility is to faithfully implement the provisions of the 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 and ensure that the transition remains inclusive, transparent and anchored on Moral Governance.

𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲𝘄𝗶𝘀𝗲, 𝗠𝗣 𝗔𝘀𝗻𝗮𝘄𝗶𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗼 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝘂𝗹 𝗜𝗙𝗧𝗔 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗼 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗶 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗼 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆, 𝗶𝗳 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗜𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗵.

Let us remember that our ultimate accountability is to the Bangsamoro People. Unity of purpose, humility in leadership, and unwavering adherence to the peace framework will strengthen our institutions and safeguards the future of our region.

May we continue to uphold the trust bestowed upon all of us and move forward together for a Peaceful, Progressive, and Empowered Bangsamoro.

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu!

As member of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority-Parliament and as servant of the Bangsamoro people particularly among the M**F members of the Parliament. I affirm my continued recognition and respect for the leadership of the M**F Chairman and former Chief Minister Ahod “Al-haj “Murad” B. Ebrahim and his successor Abdulraof Macacua, who is also serves as M**F-BIAF Chief of Staff.

They are our leaders, and our support for the M**F-BIAF remained firm and hope, I may not be misunderstood as a departure from our ranks. However, such support is guided by principled appreciations, proper qualifications, and sound justification to ensure that our decisions remain aligned with fairness, good governance, and the true interest of the Bangsamoro.

My foremost duty is to serve the Bangsamoro people with integrity, fairness, and respect for our institution “the BARMM” as a product of decades of struggle and more or less 17 years of negotiations and our shared struggle for the right to self-determination.

(1) In this spirit, I believe in upholding the legitimacy of our current Bangsamoro government and leadership entrusted with carrying out the Transition, supporting institution process and lawful leadership is essential for stability as we move closer to fully functioning Parliament system In Sha Allah.

(2) My vote in favor of the BTA Bill No. 415, the proposed Re-districting Law, was anchored on the welfare and representation of my constituents particularly Lamitan City, being a component and harmonious city and met already the number population to be qualified as one (1) Parliamentary district seat as stipulated in the Bangsamoro Organic Law.

(3) Being a UBJP Focal Person for Lamitan City, I established the UBJP Sub-Office therein to independently identify and where my Deputy Base Commander under Guerilla Warfare of the M**F-BIAF 114th is residing, and likewise a resident of the CCCH member and Basilan Provincial Coordinator Hadji Samad Atain, where they preferred to be Lone Parliamentary district without mixing and interference with people from outside of the city, thus: allowing them to freely exercise their constitutional duty of suffrage.

(4) I continue to hold deep respect for the history, sacrifices, and leadership that brought as to where we are today. Our movement has always been built on consultation (Shuorah), unity, and collective decision-making. Differences in view on governance matters and should strengthen not weaken-our shared commitment to the Bangsamoro cause.

Finally, I remain steadfast in my loyalty to the principles of the Bangsamoro struggle; just governance, moral leadership, and the protection of our people’s rights and identity. My actions in Parliament are guided not by personalities, material things but ultimately by what I sincerely believe will help preserve our gains, strengthen our institution and secure a better future for the Bangsamoro.

Our journey has always required balance, patience, and unity despite differing perspective. Therefore, I remain committed to working with all our leaders and stakeholders in the spirit of mutual respect and common good In Sha Allah.

Shukran and Wassalam!

Yours truly,
