COTABATO CITY -- The Bangsamoro Transition Authority of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BTA-BARMM) welcomed another Moro leader as a member of the parliament on Friday.

BTA Speaker Pangalian M. Balindong officially welcomed Ali B. Sangki as the newest addition to the BTA parliament.

Sangki paid a courtesy call on Balindong’s office before he formally starts his work as a regional legislator.

On January 8, Sangki, a former undersecretary and executive director of the Office on Muslim Affairs (OMA) took his oath before President Rodrigo Duterte as the 79th member of the 80 required positions at the parliament as required by the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL).

“This is another good opportunity to serve our fellow Bangsamoro people,” he said of his appointment.

Aside from the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF), Sangki has served the government in various capacities that included Al-Amanah Investment Islamic Bank of the Philippines chief executive officer from 2005 to 2007, and as a provincial board member of Maguindanao from 1992 to 2002.

Sangki also served as project manager of the Southern Philippines Development Authority (SPDA).

“We speak the same language because new Member of Parliament Sangki has a good track record and he is also a seasoned public servant. We warmly welcome him to the parliament,” Balindong said.

Sangki is the father of Maguindanao Governor Mariam Sangki-Mangudadatu.
