The new eight municipalities formerly known as Special Geographic Area (SGA) in Cotabato province are Pahamudin, Kadayangan, Nabalawag, Old Kaabacan, Kapalawan, Malidegao, Tugunan and Ligawasan – were created via a plebiscite administered in April by the Commission on Elections.
During the orientation for the aspirants for local executives, on Tuesday, June 18, Mohammad Kellie Antao, member of the 80-seat Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Parliament, explained to the applicants the intricacies of the selection process.
MP Antao said that the appointment of local officials will be done by BARMM officials led by Chief Minister Ahod Ebrahim.
He also urged them to willingly accept the outcome of the selection process, the Philippine Star report said.
Antao, along with MP’s Mohagher Iqbal, Mohammad Pak, and Prof. Ishak Hashim of University of Southern Mindanao (USM) conducted the screening of applicants to determine who among them are appointed to the positions in the new municipalities.
