BARMM Cabinet files 3 priority codes

The Bangsamoro Cabinet has filed three priority codes, the government of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) said Wednesday.

According to a statement, the Local Government Code, the Civil Service Code, and the Administrative Code have been filed in the Bangsamoro Transition Authority.

“We are aware that the passage of the six priority codes are the main duties mentioned in the Bangsamoro Organic Law and we are also aware that there have been concerns about the status of these codes,” BARMM chief minister Ahod Balawag Ebrahim said.

According to the chief minister, the codes were “carefully drafted” by the Bangsamoro Cabinet.

“We are confident that we will be able to iron out whatever issues and challenges we may face in completing the legislative process,” Ebrahim said.

“What is of prime importance is we pass these vital legislations within the year, In Shaa Allah,” he added.

The other three priority codes are the Bangsamoro Electoral Code, the Revenue Code, and the Educational Code. — Joahna Lei Casilao/BM, GMA News
