THINK TALK: Possibilities, Uncertainties with the Special Geographic Area in the BARMM

MATALAM, North Cotabato – On December 10, 2022 I spoke to Dr. Kadil M. Sinolinding Jr., one of the members of parliament of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority in the BARMM. I was particularly interested on how the Regional Parliament will apportion the 63 barangays of the Special Geographic Area into geo-political subdivisions or entities.

PB 131 creating the municipality of Kabalukan out of 8 barangays from Midsayap, namely: Damatulan, Kadigasan, Kadingilan, Kudarangan, Nabalawag, Olandang, Macasendeg , and Dungguan . PB 135 creating the municipality of Tugunan out of 8 barangays from West Pikit, namely: Balong, Bualan, Kolambog, Lagunde, Macabual, Manaulanan, Pamalian, and Panicupan.

The other uncertainty is, whether or not, the employees to be appointed shall be governed by the national civil service laws pending passage of the BARMM Civil Service Code into a regional law. From all indications the SGA shall be created into another province of the BARMM. However, only Congress is empowered to create a province due to the constitutional provision that automatically apportions at least one legislative district per province. The Constitution is clear that only Congress can apportion or create legislative districts. What the Regional Parliament can do is to pass a resolution urging Congress to create the said province and legislative district. MP Kadil Sinolinding Jr.
