Barmm authorities allegedly engaged in corruption activities
Chief Minister Abdulraof Macacua Shakes Up BARMM Government
After some serious and grave complaints, Chief Minister Abdulraof Macacua of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) has given his ministers, deputy ministers, and heads of offices and agencies an ultimatum - submit your courtesy resignations by June 30, 2025. This directive came via a memorandum dated June 23, 2025.
The murmurs of dissatisfaction brewing among the serious lot revolve around apparent irregularities in certain departments, particularly in the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education, and the Ministry of the Interior and Local Government, as amplified on social media[3]. Macacua aims to squash these issues and boost the efficiency of public service delivery within BARMM as the transition period draws to a close, with the first set of elected officials set to take office following parliamentary elections in October 2025[1][3][5].
Don't fret, folks - this massive shake-up doesn't mean the suspension of services. All officials are required to remain on the job, handling routine duties only, with no room for discretionary decisions, until their courtesy resignations are processed[1][2][5]. Refusal or failure to comply will result in automatic resignation, but until then, business as usual remains the order of the day[1][2][3][5].
Boiled down, this courtesy resignation drive is a tactical move by Macacua to rectify issues and ensure a seamless transition to new, elected leadership. His objective is to enhance governance and beef up the efficacy of public service delivery within BARMM[1][2][3][5]. So, while it may be a stormy ride for some, at least it's a storm with a purpose - a purpose as clear as the vast, blue Mindanao sky itself.
The government of Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), led by Chief Minister Abdulraof Macacua, is focusing on policy-and-legislation changes as he seeks to address the issues brewing in certain departments, such as the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education, and the Ministry of the Interior and Local Government. This move is part of Macacua's ambition to boost efficiency in public service delivery before the first set of elected officials take office following October 2025's parliamentary elections.
In the midst of this shake-up, the public should remain informed about the latest updates in BARMM politics and general news, as the transition period progresses and the new leadership prepares to take office.
