The Intergovernmental Relations Body (IGRB) that is co-chaired by Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region for Muslim Mindanao Education Minister Mohagher Iqbal has urged the national and Bangsamoro governments to fast-track the autonomy and devolution processes in the newly-created Mindanao region.
In a recent meeting held online, IGRB urged the national government and their counterparts in the Bangsamoro government to speed up the process of delineating the local and national programs in the new autonomous region to determine which of these may be funded by the national government, and to speed up discussions on this major issue.
Dominguez called on the BARMM not to hesitate in bringing to the national government’s attention any issue that needs to be addressed immediately by the IGRB to further fast-track the process of resolving urgent concerns between them.
Iqbal, for his part, thanked Dominguez and the IGRB members from the national government for finding ways to speed up the resolution of issues from BARMM’s end.
He said the BARMM expects to sustain the cooperation it has carefully built with the national government.
During the meeting, the Department of the Interior and Local Government committed to establish regional offices of the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology and Bureau of Fire Protection in the BARMM, as mandated under the BOL.
