MANILA, Philippines — A potential Robredo administration could see the establishment of a Cabinet position to help oversee development in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, according to one of the senatorial candidates in her ticket.

 

“We will also try to study the possibility of creating a Cabinet position that will oversee iyong (the) Bangsamoro development. So it’s a Cabinet position for the Bangsamoro,” former Rep. Teddy Baguilat (Ifugao) said during a forum on the region featuring representatives of five presidential candidates, including Robredo.

 

Baguilat, who represented Robredo as she barnstormed the Bangsamoro region, said the involvement of a president is essential to ensure the implementation of the Bangsamoro Organic Law, which created the BARMM and paved the way for the establishment of its own government, parliament and judicial system.
