KORONADAL CITY —The Bangsamoro Parliament has approved the relocation of the seat of power of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao from Cotabato City to nearby Parang, Maguindanao del Norte.
Parang, a municipality situated in Maguindanao del Norte, is located 31 kilometers from Cotabato City and 36.7 kilometers from the Awang Airport. The town hosts the Polloc Freeport and Economic Zone and the regional office of the Philippine National Police. The BGC hosts the governance structure of the Bangsamoro Government with a bureaucracy of 32 ministries, agencies and offices, and its 80-member BTA Parliament.
The authors described the buildings in the BGC as “significant, historic and symbolic of the Bangsamoro struggle,” referring to the Office of the Chief Minister, the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Complex with the Bangsamoro Museum and Regional Library, and Bangsamoro Parliament building, among others. “The relocation of the seat of government is expected to promote better accessibility, foster regional development, and strengthen the BARMM’s capacity to serve its constituents effectively,” she said in a report from the BTA’s media bureau.
Parang Mayor Cahar Ibay said earlier that the municipality is “best for establishing the development and implementation of the master plan for the new seat of capital of the Bangsamoro government.”
