BARMM Interior Minister Naguib Sinarimbo warns that those behind the questionable document will be held accountable.
GENERAL SANTOS, Philippines – The tug-of-war over the mayoral seat of a town in Maguindanao del Sur is far from over, as the Bangsamoro region’s interior minister questioned a document used by one of the protagonists to assume the town’s mayoral post.
For more than a year, Khadafeh and Balayman have been locked in a legal battle as both camps filed appeals and counter appeals. The BARMM minister said they cannot recognize Balayman because no document about the supposed final executory decision from COMELEC en banc was attached. Sinarimbo said Abalos revealed during deliberations on Thursday, July 27, during the 15th National Government-Bangsamoro Government Inter-Governmental Relations Body, that Balayman’s document was spurious.
He then posted a copy of a certificate of recognition signed by Abalos, along with a letter of transmittal signed by undersecretary Alfredo Bayan.
