Brig. Gen. Prexy Tanggawohn, director of the Police Regional Office-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, and his counterpart in Region 12, Brig. Gen. Augustus Placer, separately confirmed on Sunday the statistics released by Comelec employees in Cotabato province and in BARMM. BARMM is a product of more than 20 years of peace talks between Malacañang and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, whose chairman, Ahod Balawag Ebrahim, is an appointed chief minister of the now four-year Bangsamoro government.
“The creation of these new eight Bangsamoro municipalities to be covered by the Bangsamoro government, but are inside a province under an administrative region, shall be an added chapter to the long story about the peace process between the national government and the Moro people that started more than three decades ago,” Sinolinding said.
