COTABATO CITY, April 7, 2023 (SDN) — All roads lead to Al Nor Hotel and Convention Center (ANHCC) in this city on April 11.

That is the day when the Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE) headed by Education Minister Mohagher M. Iqbal will conduct another mass signing of appointments and oath taking for 196 teaching and non-teaching personnel of the Bangsamoro government. They will officially be working under the MBHTE once the twin events are completed.
The affair has been in the pipeline as the MBHTE, one of the primary governance organs of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), has been conducting hiring processes, which involves interview, examination, demonstration, and assessment of the applicants for plantilla items.
Iqbal’s MBHTE last conducted the mass signing of appointments and oath taking on November 17, 2022, for 380 employees, teaching and non-teaching capacity. The new hires will be able to realize their dreams come Tuesday of the coming week.
Iqbal made this clear in his Regional Memorandum No. 263, Series of 2023, dated April 5 and titled “Mass Signing of Appointments and Oath Taking for Teaching and Non-Teaching Personnel” of the MBHTE.
He addressed his memo to Schools Division Superintendents, Assistant Schools Division Superintendents (Schools Division Office Maguindanao I & II, Marawi City, and Special Geographic Area or SGA).
Iqbal said all the incoming appointees were required to bring a photocopy of their authenticated Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) ID, a set of their Personal Data Sheet, and a ballpen.
Needless to say, all schools division superintendents and assistant schools division superintendents of the concerned divisions were invited to join the affair.
Attire was also specified in the MBHTE memo, such as formal attire with Inaul (hand-woven) accent/landap for schools division superintendent (Marawi City), principal (Marawi City and Maguindanao II), and non-teaching personnel (MBHTE Regional Office); black slacks/skirt/abaya with white hijab and white blouse or long sleeves for Instructor I and Teacher I (Higher Education), Teacher I (Elementary and Secondary), Maguindanao I & II, Special Geographic Area, and Marawi City.
