Nanindigan ang Office of the President (OP) na patuloy umanong mamamahala ang Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) sa Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).

Kaugnay ito ng desisyon ng Korte Suprema na ipagpaliban ang BARMM elections, na nakatakda dapat na isagawa noong Oktubre 13.

Ibinahagi ng Presidential Communications Office (PCO) nitong Huwebes, Oktubre 30, ang isang press statement ukol dito.

“The Office of the President affirms that the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) shall continue to serve as the legitimate governing body of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, following the Supreme Court’s decision postponing the October 13, 2025 BARMM elections to a date not later than March 31, 2026,” anang OP.

Binigyang-diin din ng OP na nakaangkla ang desisyong ito sa ilalim ng Republic Act No. 12123.

“Under Republic Act No. 12123, since no election took place, the BTA shall continue to exercise full powers and authority during the extended transition period until new officials are duly elected or appointed. The authority to make changes in the composition of the BTA during the transition remains with the Office of the President, as provided by law. No formal reappointment is necessary, as current members continue to hold office by operation of law until replaced or succeeded,” anila.

“This ensures continuity of governance, legal stability, and an orderly transition in the Bangsamoro, consistent with the Bangsamoro Organic Law, Republic Act No. 12123, and the Supreme Court’s ruling in Ali v. COMELEC. The Office of the President reiterates its commitment to peace, self-governance, and inclusive development in the region,” dagdag pa nito.
