[SPECIAL REPORT] Mindanao 2022 to 2025: fat and obese dynasties rule (2)

2nd of three parts  DAVAO CITY (MindaNews /12 July) – Six of 27 provinces in Mindanao are ruled by governors, vice governors, representatives and mayors coming from the same family: …

Six of 27 provinces in Mindanao are ruled by governors, vice governors, representatives and mayors coming from the same family: the Romualdos of Camiguin, Cagas of Davao del Sur, Bautistas of Davao Occidental, Adiongs of Lanao del Sur, Tans of Sulu and the Salis of Tawi-Tawi.

The lone district of Camiguin has been represented by a succession of Romualdos for 38 years from 1987 to 2025 – from the patriarch Pedro, to the son and grandson – and the gubernatorial seat from 1998 to 2025. In Tawi-Tawi, reelected Governor Yshmael Sali is joined by his son, Al-Syed, who was elected Vice Governor. Like Adiong, the younger Sali was also a Member of Parliament in the BARMM.

Abdusakur’s relatives are also occupying top poses in the capital town of Jolo. Cousin Kerkhar Siraji Tan is mayor of Jolo, while the vice mayor is Ezzedin Soud Limpalan Tan and Edsir II Ahmad Tan. Like Abdusakur’s immediate family, the Jolo mayor and vice mayor ran unopposed. Councilor Tan topped the Council race

Mendoza noted that the extended stay in office of the dynasties “affords them more control over the domestic economy, which in turn fuels their continued expansion and staying power. It is a vicious cycle that traps many of our provinces in poverty and underdevelopment.”Basilan remains a Hataman country: Governor Hadjiman Hataman-Salliman was elected to a third term, brother Mujiv to a second term as lone district Representative and Mujiv’s wife, Sittie Djalia as Mayor of Isabela town.

In North Cotabato, Emmylou Talino-Mendoza is back as Governor, her fourth term. She was representative of the 1 district.
