A technical working group (TWG) is needed to ensure the “smooth” transition of Sulu to the national government following its exit from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity (OPAPRU) said.

OPAPRU Sec. Carlito Galvez Jr. lauds the agency's international and private peace partners during the inaugural International and Private Partnerships Forum 2024 at the Manila Hotel on Nov. 14, 2024.

“This is in line with the President's commitment to a Bagong Pilipinas that includes a stronger Bangsamoro region where no one will be left behind as the region continues to reach greater heights in peace and development,” he noted. In particular, the IGRB directed the TWG to develop a transition plan that outlines the reassignment of employees and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in deposition of offices, with the least disruption to essential services and maintenance of operational continuity, and the financial support mechanism from the National Government to ensure that delivery of services in Sulu are maintained.

“It is imperative that our efforts ensure the people of Sulu remain strongly connected to the overarching vision of peace and self-determination,” Iqbal underscored.
