Posted to the MILF Website (Feb 23): Homeland Media Agency launches website

Homeland Media Agency launches website

As the saying goes, “Better late than never”. This is so with the Homeland Media Agency (HMA).  After its readers and followers waited for sometimes, the HMA launched its website (www.homelandmedia.com.ph) on February 18 at Pagana Native Restaurant, Cotabato City, in the presence of important guests, HMA officers and writers. Some important personalities who were included in the list of guests failed to make it due to previous commitments. The theme of the website launching is, HMA: “Dawn of a New Beginning”

The HMA is headed by its president, Professor Abdullah Abdulmaguid, while the Board of Directors is headed by Abubakar Gulam, a teacher by profession. The launching ceremony was also attended and witnessed by officials of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), local media, the International Monitoring Team (IMT), BTC Communications Group members, the Asia Foundation (TAF), and representatives from local government units (LGUs), and CSOs.

According to HMA’s VMG’s, the group is a non-partisan, non-profit multimedia organization with members comprising professionals and amateur Moro and non-Moro writers from non-government organizations, government agencies, the academe, religious and women’s organizations. “HMA envisions a competent peace journalist and media practitioners who conscientiously inform and educate citizens through multimedia with credible and accurate information towards just, progressive and peaceful communities.”

“HMA is an alternative source of balance and accurate news that transpire in the local communities and urban centres in Mindanao.”

‘In his message, Prof. Abdulmaguid said, the agency was organized in 2010, and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2011”, thus making the agency a legal multi-media organization.”

 “We are unveiling our modest endeavor that we were not able to do in the past, and now laid its beginning”, Prof. Abdulmaguid also said. HMA has plenty of writers or correspondents all over the Bangsamoro and even overseas”, Prof. Abdulmaguid further said.

Capt. Azhar Bin Adam of the Royal Malaysian Navy and Head of the IMT-9, said, “I congratulate the officers and members for this timely and successful launching of your organization’s website. Indeed, it is a “Dawn of a new beginning”.  “The timing for this activity is very significant following the unfortunate incident in Mamasapano”, Capt. Adam also said.

“May I express my appreciation and gratitude to all parties, particularly the media people, by helping the IMT and ceasefire mechanism for successfully enforcing the ceasefire that prevented further loss of lives and stabilize the te4nse situation”, Capt. Adam further said.

The launching ended with a luncheon meeting presided over by Prof. Abdulmaguid.
