SULTAN KUDARAT, Maguindanao– The League of Bangsamoro Organizations (LBO) is one of the strongest net-work of networks of Moro Non-Government Organizations founded in the southern part of Philippines in 2014.

Lumambas is the Secretary-General of the United Youth for Peace and Development (UNYPAD). The Vice President for External Affairs is the Board of Trustees (BOT) chair of the Bangsamoro Communication Network (BCN) Emran Mohammad, who formerly chaired the Supreme Council.
Lumambas disclosed that there are 10 newly elected officers coming from member-organization including 5 seats for the founding member organizations that constitute the Supreme Council with the role of formulating policy directions for LBO.
“The LBO has identifed programs and services that suit to the needs of the league and the communities. It also formed relevant committees to work voluntarily for the attainment of LBOs common vision,” he said.
