MPW-BARMM Reports Sulu Infrastructure Accomplishments and Project Status
COTABATO CITY — The Ministry of Public Works (MPW) presented the accomplishments and implementation status of infrastructure projects in Sulu during a parliamentary briefing presided over by Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) Member of Parliament Atty. Jose I. Lorena on Monday, July 13, at Haraya Hall.
The briefing was convened following a motion raised by Deputy Speaker Nabil A. Tan and seconded by MP Sema during the BRC-TWG discussion on other matters.
Bangsamoro Director-General Engr. Danilo A. Ong led the MPW delegation, joined by the Ministry’s directors, division chiefs, and Sulu District Engineers Ajan S. Ajijul and Az-Zamier N. Arbison.
During the briefing, District Engineers Ajijul and Arbison presented the physical accomplishments of the Sulu 1st and Sulu 2nd District Engineering Offices, highlighting completed and ongoing infrastructure projects implemented from Fiscal Years 2020 to 2025.
The presentation covered key public infrastructure investments across the province, including solar streetlights, Level II water systems, barangay roads, and community facilities. These projects have enhanced public safety, strengthened local economic activity, and expanded access to essential services for communities throughout Sulu.
The discussion also focused on the status of proposed infrastructure projects for Fiscal Year 2026 and the preparation of a comprehensive report documenting the Bangsamoro Government’s infrastructure investments in the province over the past seven years.
To further strengthen transparency and public accountability, the Ministry also announced the upcoming launch of the E-BARMM mobile application on July 16. The platform will enable the public to monitor regional infrastructure projects by providing real-time information on project locations, funding sources, implementation status, and completion.
The briefing forms part of the Ministry’s continuing efforts to ensure that infrastructure investments across Sulu are properly documented, transparently implemented, and fully accounted for.
