Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Chief Minister Ahod Balawag Ebrahim and Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) Parliament Speaker Pangalian M. Balindong led the ceremonial signing today, November 17, 2020 of the Bangsamoro Administrative Code during session no. 44 of the second regular session with the presence of other Members of the Parliament.

The momentous event took place following the approval of the ‘code’ by the BTA Parliament on October 28, 2020, in a two-day special session where Parliament members unanimously voted in favor of the passage. Through nominal voting, 26 members voted physically while 32 voted via Zoom teleconference. All of them voted “yes” and nobody abstained on the approval of the bill.

In a previous interview, Ebrahim said he hopes “our passion for the Bangsamoro remain unshaken, regardless of the pandemic and the countless challenges ahead.”

“We are writing history by providing the form and structure of the Bangsamoro Government and fulfilling one of our mandates during the transition period,” Ebrahim said.
