The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has rejected the appointment of Maguindanao del Norte Governor Abdulraof Macacua as the new interim chief minister of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), citing violations of the Bangsamoro Organic Law and the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro.
The Moro Islamic Liberation Front ( MILF ) formally rejected the appointment of Maguindanao del Norte Governor Abdulraof Macacua as the new interim chief minister of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao ( BARMM ). In a statement released online on Sunday evening, March 16, the MILF asserted that President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s decision violated both the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) and the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB).
The MILF further expressed concern over the appointment of only 35 out of the 41 individuals endorsed by the group to the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA). This rejection comes a day after Macacua inducted newly appointed members of the BTA parliament on Saturday, March 15. During the induction ceremony, Macacua emphasized the significance of the oath taken by the parliament members, stating that it symbolized their commitment to upholding the aspirations and rights of the Bangsamoro people. The BTA, established under Republic Act No. 11054 (BOL), will serve as the interim government in the BARMM during the transition period, which is scheduled to end in October 2025 following parliamentary elections.Macacua, who succeeded interim chief minister and MILF Chairman Ahod Ebrahim last week, had not issued a public statement regarding the MILF's rejection as of the time of this report
