COTABATO CITY — Bangsamoro Chief Minister Abdulraof Macacua established two advisory offices on Thursday as part of efforts to reinforce the autonomous region's moral governance framework and streamline administrative operations.
Macacua issued executive orders creating the Office of the Senior Adviser to the Chief Minister, according to officials familiar with the directive. The move is intended to provide enhanced advisory support to the chief minister's office while improving institutional coordination.
The new offices fall under the Office of the Chief Minister and are designed to strengthen the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao's governance structure. Officials said the establishment of these advisory bodies reflects the government's commitment to improving the relationship between the Bangsamoro Government's Cabinet and its legislative body, the Parliament.
The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, created through the 2019 Bangsamoro Organic Law, has undergone several administrative restructurings since its establishment. The creation of the advisory offices represents the latest in a series of institutional refinements aimed at improving service delivery and governmental effectiveness in the region.
