7 BETS FOR ARMM OIC GOVERNOR, 6 FOR VICE GOVERNOR UNDERGO PUBLIC SCRUTINY

Seven “short-listed” officer in charge (OIC) candidates for Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) governor and seven other bets for vice-governor underwent tight scrutiny from a panel of respected multi-sectoral group leaders from the region during a public forum held yesterday in Cotabato City.

The candidates were asked by panel members to articulate before the public their personal profile, the ARMM issues and concerns and their proposed solutions, their visions, platform of government, among others.

Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse M. Robredo said it is a must for every OIC bets in the 26 vacant positions at the ARMM, after being included in the shortlist, to be subjected for a public “grilling” about their governance agenda for the region.

The ARMM OIC “short listed” candidates for governor were Mujiv S. Hataman of Basilan; Incumbent Gov. Ismael “toto” Magudadatu of Maguindanao; and Ali Sanchez, Lanto makabangkit, Saidamen Pangarungan, Dimas Pundato and Norma Sharief, all of lanao Del Sur.

The OIC bets for vice-governor includes incumbent ARMM OIC Gov. Anzaruddin Adiong of Lanao, Hatimil Hassan of basilan, and Bobby M. datimbang, Mustapha “Eid” kabalu, Bainon Karon, Datu Ramos Dimaporo, all of Maguindanao.

Robredo, national chairperson of the national screening panel, said the ARMM OIC governor and vice-governor candidates were chosen after tedious deliberations by all panel members, carefully assessing and considering the qualifications and background of each bet.

“We (panel) made it sure that the whole selection process was transparent, inclusive…and ensured that all sectors are well represented, “he said”. “We went through the names of each of the 111 applicants nominees for OIC governor and vice governor.”

DILG chief also said the same panel came up, from a total of 440 applicants for the 24 OIC regional legislative assembly posts, with a list of six candidates, depending on the number of voter-population and number of applicants/ nominees per province/ district.

During yesterday’s forum, Fr. Eliseo “Jun” Mercado, Jr., OMI, ably did his job as the moderator, with panelist Atty. Basari D. Mapupuno from the academe; Dr. Lampa I. Pandi from LGU/ Health; Guimel M. Alim and Engr. Dong K. Anayatin from local civil society organizations; Ustadz Ibrahim Ismael; Judge Abuali Cali from professional sector and Atty. Lincoln Bagundang posing the hard questions for the ARMM OIC bets held at the Shariff Kabunsuan Complex in Cotabato City.

After the public forum in Cotabato City, a similar forum will be held in Zamboanga Cityat the Western Mindanao University on September 15.

Last Monday, simultaneous provincial forum held for “short listed” RLA candidates to present their legislative agenda in the following venues: Shariff Kabunsuan Complex in Cotabato City (for the 1^st and 2^nd district of Maguindanao candidates); Mindanao State University in Marawi City (for the 1^st and 2^nd district of Lanao del Sur); MSU, Jolo, Sulu (for Sulu 1^st and 2^nd district ); Notre Dame of Bongao, Tawi-Tawi (for Tawi-Tawi); Basilan State College in Isabela City (for Basila).
