📣 STATEMENT OF SUPPORT OF GOVERNOR BOMBIT ADIONG TO ICM MACACUA
I extend my warmest congratulations to Chief Minister Abdulraof "Sammy Gambar" Macacua on his decisive victory in the historic first Bangsamoro parliamentary elections, and I am glad to reaffirm my personal and political support for his continued leadership as Chief Minister of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
Chief Minister Macacua and I have stood together through the long and difficult work of building this region — from regional governance to the day-to-day task of public service. I have always believed that the Bangsamoro's future is best served by leaders willing to build bridges across our differences, and it is in that same spirit that I extend my support to him today, a support I know is echoed by local leaders across Lanao del Sur. I know his sincerity, his discipline, and his love for the Bangsamoro, and I am confident that under his leadership, this new chapter of self-governance will be guided with wisdom and unity.
As Governor of Lanao del Sur, I reaffirm the Province's readiness to work hand in hand with the Bangsamoro Government under his leadership — to press forward on the programs that matter most to our communities, and to help carry the Bangsamoro forward as one people, one region, and one future.
Congratulations, Chief Minister Macacua. Lanao del Sur stands with you.
