CABRERA“We are confident with the leadership and capability of your City Health Officer, your doctors, and program coordinators,” he added. Cotabato City voted for inclusion in the BARMM in the plebiscite of January 2019 but then Cotabato City mayor Cynthia Guiani-Sayadi urged then President Rodrigo Duterte to maintain the status quo until the end of the transition period on June 30, 2022. The transition period was extended to June 30, 2025. Guiani lost her reelection bid for mayor.
The BIO also reported that Niñal narrated that lack of facilities and human resources are among the major problems that he hopes the MOH will address to enhance CHO’s quality of service delivery.“Kung naibigay sa amin ito noon pa, siguro naging center for excellence itong Cotabato City. Ngayong nandito na kami, nakikipagtulungan na kami sa BARMM—malaking pasalamat namin dito at malaking epekto ito sa mga Cotabateño” , the BIO quoted Niñal as saying.
