BDA, Turkeyi Diyanet Vakfi organize ‘Qurban’ Program for Bangsamoro

Posted to the MILF Website (Oct 15): BDA, Turkeyi Diyanet Vakfi organize ‘Qurban’ Program for Bangsamoro



The Bangsamoro Development Agency-Southern Mindanao Region (BDA-SouthMin Region) with the support of Turkeyi Diyanet Vakfi organized Qurban Program for the Bangsamoro across the region.
   
The BDA-SouthMin Region headed by Mohalikin D. Piang allocated number of Cattles to the areas that comprises the MILF-identified provinces, namely Biwang, Suguda Buayan, Koronadal and Alah valley.

The cattle were slaughtered during the 3-day "Yawmul Tashriq" of Eidl Adha or Feast of Sacrifice that started on October 4 with congregational prayers in open fields throughout Mindanao region. The celebrations lasted until October 6.

The slaughtering of 38 heads of cattle in the four provinces were attended and witnessed by BDA volunteer staff, Bedir Nilufer, representative of Turkeyi Diyanet Vakfi Foundation, Engr. Jandatu Salik and Macmodin Ali of BDA-CMO and some local residents.

BDA volunteer staff from their respective provinces served as focal persons and assisted officials of MILF Political Committee (PolCom) in the management and facilitation of the program. The meats were evenly distributed to the poor and needy people in the four provinces supervised by the PolCom Chairmen.

The big number of Cattles that were slaughtered as ‘qurban’ for the feast of sacrifice were donated by  the people of Turkey to make the celebration of Eidl Adha more joyous and memorable for the poor and the needy in the conflict-affected region of Mindanao. The Bangsamoro people of SouthMin were very grateful to the Government of Turkey and her people. 

“This is new to us and something we wish to happen again in shaa Allah (If Allah's will). For years, we have been deprived of social services. This program is a blessing for us and is a big help to our poor people.” said Rakma Abdulkarim, Chairperson of SWC -Alah Valley Province.
