COTABATO CITY–The acting governor of Maguindanao del Norte on Tuesday appealed to critics opposing his presidential appointment to just follow lawyer Salvador Panelo’s advice to “go to the Supreme Court,” instead of dragging Malacanang officials into malicious insinuations.
He said he thanked the Chief Executive for his pre-Easter appointment . Macacua added that Chief Minister Ahod Balawag Ebrahim was happy to receive the news, albeit on a sad note also that he would have to leave his post as senior minister of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao . He maintained that “if the Supreme Court says that I am not supposed to be here, I will voluntarily step down, No problem. But it’s not good to malign; it’s not good to belittle the President,” Macacua said.
He also rejected suggestion that his appointment was a “payback to the Moro Muslims” for records of martial law atrocities often associated with his namesake father’s second term as the Philippine President in the 1970’s.
