COTABATO CITY – Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Chief Minister Ahod Balawag Ebrahim has designated Abunawas Maslamama as the new senior minister of the regional government.
“This is an honor and a privilege to serve my fellow Bangsamoro in whatever way possible,” Maslamama said in a statement Tuesday.
Ebrahim, the former MILF chief, signed Maslamama’s appointment Monday with the latter immediately taking his oath.
Maslamama is the former spokesperson of the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces (BIAF), the armed wing of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), which signed a peace deal with the government in 2014.
He replaced Senior Minister Abduraof Macacua, who was named by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. as officer-in-charge governor of the newly created Maguindanao del Norte province.
Before he was appointed senior minister, Maslamama was deputy minister of the region’s Ministry of the Interior and Local Government.
He also served as deputy minister of the Ministry of Transportation and Communication.
The BARMM comprises the provinces of Maguindanao del Sur, Maguindanao del Norte, Lanao del Sur, Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi; and the cities of Cotabato, Marawi, and Lamitan.
