Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar (PCOO / FILE PHOTO / MANILA BULLETIN) Andanar gave his high hopes for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) ahead of its celebration of its foundation day on January 21. The new Bangsamoro region was created in 2019 as part of the government’s peace deal with a Muslim separatist group. The region is currently led by the transition authority led by Chief Minister Al Haj Murad Ebrahim until 2022 when new leaders are expected to be elected. “As we celebrate its Foundation Day, may we continue to successfully pursue the moral governance it seeks to realize, governance that is for the Filipino people and by the Filipino people, regardless of religious beliefs,” Andanar said.
