From the Philippine Information Agency (Jan 21, 2021): We have achieved genuine autonomy- BARMM Chief Minister Ebrahim (By PIA Cotabato City)
“We can now proudly say that we have achieved genuine autonomy that encapsulates the long history of the Bangsamoro people, our sacrifices and our shared vision for the next generation,” Ebrahim said.
He further noted that for the past two years, the Bangsamoro had faced challenges and opportunities that define what makes of the new bureaucracy and addressed such concerns that benefited the public.
“In order to make this journey successful, we need everyone’s support and cooperation to make sure that moral governance becomes a practice and not just a tagline,” the chief minister added.
Ebrahim also recalled in his speech the journey towards the monumental occasion that had taken decades in the making.
“We began this struggle when we were just young men who believed that our people deserve better, that our people should not be subjected to systemic oppression and that our people had the right to navigate their future based on their decisions, culture, and tradition,” he said.
During the kick-off ceremony, Ebrahim led the hoisting of the Bangsamoro flag next to the Philippine flag and the banging of gong to signal the opening of the week-long celebration.
It was followed by the symbolic turnover to several schools in the region of 100,000 armchairs designed by the Ministry of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education. Also, the Bangsamoro government distributed relief goods and wheelchairs and launched the disaster vehicles and equipment.
For the rest of the week-long celebration, BARMM’s different ministries have prepared several activities for the occasion. (LTBolongon-PIA Cotabato City)
