The government of the United States recently launched roll-on/roll-off services in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao to boost the local trade and investment in the island region.
There will also be a ferry service that will cut the travel time between Cotabato and Zamboanga by at least six hours and reduce transportation costs by as much as 30 percent, according to the US Embassy in Manila. "Strengthening maritime trade routes and intermodal transport systems will open doors for more trade and investment in the region, including in the tourism industry," USAID Philippines Mission Director Ryan Washburn said in a recorded message on April 25, at the launching ceremony held at the Polloc Freeport and Economic Zone.
For BARMM Chief Minister Ahod Ebrahim, the initiative is "a manifestation that the peace accord [between the Philippine government and BARMM] is succeeding."
