BTA holds consultation on the Proposed administrative code with LGU’s
SULTAN KUDARAT, MAGUINDANAO (AUGUST 19, 2020)- The Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) conducted yesterday, August 19, a consultation on the Bangsamoro Administrative Code (Cabinet Bill No. 60) with the local government units of the Bangsamoro Autonoous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
The aims of the long-awaited crafting of an administrative
code are to define the mandate, jurisdiction and functions of agencies
under the BARMM.
There were 5 who attended physically, while
12 panel members via zoom or a total of 17 members who participated.
Joining them were 60 representatives from different field offices
participated via zoom.
The said consultation was presided by the committee panel chair, MP Atty. Raissa H. Jajurie.
Due
to the unavailability of the Attorney General Atty. Sha Elijah
Dumama-Alba, MP Jajurie reminded every member and representative to make
a position paper.
Several issues, concerns, observations, and recommendations raised during the consultation, such as:
The
Basilan Provincial Administrator asked on how to settle or organized
the devolution of certain offices such as Provincial Office of
Agriculture, Fisheries, and Agrarian Reform, Provincial Office of Social
Services Development, and Provincial Office of Health?
Lanao
Provincial Administrator Atty. Allan G. Panolong mentioned about
provision on Council of Leaders mentioned in the Bangsamoro Organic Law
(BOL).
He said there are no clear enumeration
of functions that they have to perform to strengthen the relationship
especially with the Provincial Governors because they are in- charge of
shaping the future of Bangsamoro Government.
Atty.
Panolong also observed that there is no office mentioned in the BOL
that will take charge of our energy. Bangsamoro is a source of abundant
energy, he said. Revisit or if there’s a need to create an office that
would look into the restoration of our energy.
He
also said there was no mention of Healthcare or Social Health
Insurance. Bangsamoro Youth Commission; no mention of specific duties
and functions. Provision of engagement of LGU constituents in terms of
performance of services.
On the past of Gov.
Abdusakur M. Tan of Sulu, he suggested to re- occupy the Cabatangan, a
barangay in Zamboanga City owned by the then ARMM, and create a
sub-office.
The Administrative Code (BAC) is
one of the priorities that the BTA should enact pursuant to the
provisions of the Republic Act 11054 known as the Bangsamoro Organic Law
(BOL).
The public consultation on the
Administrative Code started last Friday, August 14, 2020, at BPDA
Conference Hall, Bangsamoro Government Center. It was also chaired and
facilitated by MP Atty. Jajurie, and was composed of three series of
dialogues- with local government units, members of the cabinet, and
experts.
Guests and resource speakers were
invited to solicit their observations, and recommendation to be able to
expedite its enactment.
