BARMM execs launch 2026-2028 governance frameworkCOTABATO CITY, Philippines — Officials of the Bangsamoro autonomous regional government together launched on Monday, March 23, the “Mas Matatag na Bansamoro Agenda” as a framework for their 2026-2028 governance thrusts, parallel with the Mindanao peace process. Both fronts have separate peace agreements with the national government, have representatives in the Bangsamoro parliament and are also together overseeing certain agencies of the regional government. “We shall work together in furthering this very comprehensive peace and development framework for our region,” Macacua told reporters on Tuesday morning. Macacua said the framework also includes extensive peace and security initiatives and promotion of interfaith solidarity and ecumenism among BARMM’s culturally-pluralistic communities. “That shall be our governance guides for 2026 to 2028,” said Macacua, who is figurehead of the BARMM parliament and is a senior member of the MILF’s central committee.
