BARMM Interior Minister Naguib Sinarimbo says the Supreme Court merely ordered the local government finance bureau to name a Maguindanao del Norte treasurer.
GENERAL SANTOS, Philippines — The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao rejected on Wednesday, April 26, an assertion by former Maguindanao vice governor Fatima Ainee Sinsuat that the recent Supreme Court injunction based on a petition she filed acknowledged her governorship in the newly created Maguindanao del Norte province.
BARMM spokesman and Interior Minister Naguib Sinarimbo dismissed claims by Sinsuat’s group that the SC order recognized the former Maguindanao vice governor’s claim to the gubernatorial post of Maguindanao del Norte. He said only the BLGF has the sole authority to appoint provincial treasurers and not local chief executives.
But Sinarimbo, a lawyer by profession, said the SC merely ordered the BLGF to hasten the designation of a provincial treasurer and did not specify who should be recognized as the head of the province. The two officials have asserted that the 2021 law that split Maguindanao into political territories provided that they would automatically serve as governors of the two new provinces.
