COTABATO CITY — The Schools Division Office of Special Geographic Area (SDO-SGA)-Education Facilities of the Bangsamoro government has led the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of three units of 1-storey, one- classroom buildings in the SGA.
Although the 63 barangays/villages comprising the SGA are geographically located in North Cotabato, they are now under the jurisdiction of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM). Voters of the 63 barangays chose to be covered by the Bangsamoro government in a plebiscite in February 2019.
Since then they are now enjoying the benefits from the regional government created in 2018, such as government services, building projects, educational facilities, among others.
The building projects are courtesy of the Ministry of the Interior and Local Government (MILG) while educational services and facilities are through the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE). They are two of the BARMM’s primary ministry-level agencies.
Concrete examples are the three new school building projects to be built by the MBHTE for Mahad Darul Ahlil Igtima Al-Islamie, Inc. in Pedtad, Kabacan, Cotabato, and Madrasatu Mentok Al-Islamiyyah in Damatulan, Midsayap, Cotabato.
Officials of the BARMM attended and witnessed the groundbreaking ceremony, such as Office of Member of Parliament Aida M. Silongan; Regional Education Facilities Section Head Abdulgafor I. Abdulhamid, chief Education Program supervisor under Madaris Education Director General Sheikh Tahir Nalg; from SDO-SGA Education Facilities, Sadam K. Umpong, Jennifer B. Dagadas, and Musanip Adzal, Education Program supervisor under Dr. Edgar S. Sumapal, Al-Hajj; and schools superintendents and other stakeholders.
The project covering the three school buildings is funded under the Transitional Development Impact Fund (TDIF) 2021 and Implemented through the MBHTE headed by Education Minister Mohagher M. Iqbal. (/)
