WATCH: BARMM Member of Parliament and Deputy Floor Leader Atty. Randolph C. Parcasio reads the official position paper of Mahardika Party in relation to Senate Bill No. 1587, filed by Senator Migz Zubiri, resetting the first regular elections in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.

Mahardika Party reiterates that the right to suffrage is a fundamental constitutional right that cannot be secondary to administrative convenience. The party also appealed to COMELEC and Congress must forge a synchronized partnership to resolve the current ‘electoral limbo’ plaguing the BARMM.

"In sum, the suspension of the March 2026 polls was a necessary pause, but it must be followed by a definitive and immediate move toward a September 2026 election date. Any further delay threatens the constitutional principle of synchronization, wastes precious public resources, and illegally extends the tenure of an interim government beyond its statutory life," the statement concluded.

✨ EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION 🎓

Earlier today, the office of our beloved Deputy Floor Leader Atty. Randolph C. Parcasio, in partnership with the Ministry of Basic, Higher, and Technical Education (MBHTE), successfully held the Releasing of One-Year Cash Assistance for college students of all levels under the Transitional Development Impact Fund (TDIF) 2024.

This initiative aims to assist a total of 91 qualified scholars, with the first batch receiving their ₱60,000 cash assistance EACH during today’s event.

The program was also graced and led by Ms. Nurhaynee Noor, Chief of the Cash Division of MBHTE, whose presence and support ensured the smooth and successful implementation of the activity.

Before the distribution, DFL Atty. Parcasio shared heartfelt words of guidance and inspiration. He reminded the students that “Ang kabataan ay pag-asa ng bayan” is more than a saying — it is a responsibility to study hard, serve the community, and help shape a better future for our nation.

He also emphasized the importance of continuous learning and sabr (patience) — values commanded by Allah — as key virtues in pursuing success and personal growth. Furthermore, he reiterated the commitment of the Mahardika Party to ensure that education leads to meaningful employment opportunities, addressing the challenges within the current education system.

Deputy Floor Leader Atty. Parcasio expressed his hope that this financial assistance will help ease some of the students’ burdens and inspire them to continue striving for excellence — for themselves, their families, and the Bangsamoro.

“May this assistance serve as a stepping stone towards your dreams. Keep learning, keep believing, and keep moving forward.” 🌙📚

MP Atty. Randolph C. Parcasio delivered a heartfelt speech during the Plenary Session No. 111 of the Bangsamoro Parliament, honoring the late Sheikh Abdul Baki Abubakar—a revered Grand M***i, peace advocate, and former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the MNLF. His message echoed the values of faith, service, and enduring commitment to peace and unity among the Bangsamoro people.

“Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Raheem! Wassalatu wassalamu Ala Rasulillah:
Mr. Speaker, distinguished members of the Bangsamoro Parliament,
Assalamualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu:
I stand before you today to present words of honor in remembrance of the late Sheikh Abdul Baki Abubakar, the respected Grand M***i of Region IX and Palawan, serving under the Supreme Council for Islamic Preaching and Guidance of Darul Ifta. In addition to his religious responsibilities, he played a crucial role in the Moro National Liberation Front, holding the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs for the MNLF Central Committee. In this capacity, he advocated for peace and voiced the aspirations of the Muslim Filipinos on both national and international stages.
On behalf of this Parliament, I humbly express our heartfelt condolences and profound grief to the family, colleagues, and followers of Sheikh Abdul Baki Abubakar.
We honor and acknowledge his lifelong service and sacrifice in advancing the cause of Islam and fostering peace among our people.
We earnestly pray for the forgiveness of his faults, that his grave may be spacious and peaceful, and that Allah Almighty may graciously receive him into Jannatul Firdaus, the highest paradise.
We solemnly commit ourselves to uphold the noble values and principles he exemplified, ensuring that we continue to promote the spiritual growth and social progress of our people.
As we remember his legacy, let us reflect on the words of the Holy Qur’an: “Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un” — verily, we belong to Allah, and to Him we shall return.
Thank you, Honorable Speaker, and esteemed members of this Parliament. May we all be guided in our duties as Muslims.”

The Bangsamoro Parliament’s Committee on Rules continued its series of roundtable discussions Wednesday with deliberations on Parliament Bill No. 165, or the Bangsamoro People’s Initiative Act, which seeks to allow citizens in the region to directly propose, amend or repeal regional laws.

This was the second in a three-day roundtable organized by the committee, now chaired by newly elected Floor Leader John Anthony “Jet”Lim.

Several legal and electoral officials raised concerns during the discussion, particularly on how the system would be implemented and the need to clearly define which proposals fall outside the Bangsamoro government’s powers.

Cotabato City Election Officer Norpaisa Paglala-Manduyog said the bill should clarify how signature verification would be carried out, noting that under current rules, the process is handled by the Commission on Elections at the national level.

Suggestions were also made to set clear plebiscite timelines and assign facilitation duties to the Parliament’s legal division to avoid conflicts of interest.

Lim said the committee will continue to review the constitutional and legal parameters of the bill before it advances to the plenary. (LTAIS- Public Information, Publication, and Media Relations Division)

The Essence of the Bangsamoro political Struggle and the Way Forward
By: Rajah Habib Alawi

The 1976 and 1996 Peace Agreements stand as monumental results of the sacrifices of the MNLF led Bangsmoro Struggle Fiy Sabilillah courageously chaired by our Founding Leader His Excellency, Prof. Nur P. Misuari. From the 1970s until the late 1990s, the armed struggle reached its peak, fueled by the blood, sweat, and tears of the Mujahideen. Yet as Allah (SWT) reminds us, “Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves” (Qur’an 13:11). Time has evolved, and today a new battlefield has emerged—not with rifles and trenches, but within the political institutions born out of our struggle.

But let this be clear: participation in governance must not be entered in haste. It requires patience, preparation, and strategy. Politics in our country is not a straight path; it is a mire of deception, rivalry, and corruption. To plunge into it unprepared is to risk the very soul of our struggle. For this reason, it is not the duty of our ground leaders in the countryside to wrestle in this arena. Rather, this task must be entrusted to our trained political cadres—those equipped with the knowledge, vision, discipline, strategy and resilience to protect the Noble Goal and Sacred Quest for peace, justice, and development in the Bangsamoro Homeland. The ultimate dedication and commitment to our Hula', Bangsa and Agama.

Our commanders and the masses must be shielded from the enticements and dangers of partisan politics. Their honor must be preserved, their loyalty to the cause safeguarded, and their role in the struggle kept pure. As the Prophet ﷺ warned, “You will be eager for leadership, but it will be a cause of regret on the Day of Judgment” (Bukhari, Muslim). Leadership, therefore, is not a prize to be claimed but a trust (amanah) to be carried with fear of Allah and with accountability to the people.

We must be reminded of the lessons learned on the establishments of Lupong Tagapagpaganap ng Pook (LTP) and ARMM . And the new challenges and pressures for now is the BARMM. These institutions exist, and they are the political face of today’s struggle. But engagement with them must be on our terms, with wisdom and unity. Entering politics must never dilute our principles nor compromise our dignity. If guided by Qur’an and Sunnah, political struggle becomes a form of jihad—a noble struggle for justice, dignity, and the fulfillment of the peace agreements.

Therefore, our way forward is clear: engage in governance, but do not rush into it. Let our political cadres carry this responsibility, while the broader movement preserves its moral compass and revolutionary spirit. In this way, we protect the sacrifices of our martyrs, uphold the trust of our people, and remain steadfast in our Sacred Quest for peace and development in the Bangsamoro.

Brothers and sisters, let us move with patience (sabr), with wisdom (hikmah), and with sincerity (ikhlas). Let us remind ourselves that every step we take must be for Allah (SWT) and for the dignity of our people. Politics is not our end; it is only a means. Our end remains the same: to attain justice, freedom, and lasting peace for the Bangsamoro.

May Allah (SWT) guide our leaders, strengthen our unity, and protect us from the traps of this world. And may He make our struggle a continuous jihad fi sabilillah until the light of peace and development shines fully upon our Homeland Bangsamoro, Insha Allah.

Inna Lillahi wa Inna Ilayhi Raji’un.

We mourn the passing of Hon. Speaker Atty. Ali Pangalian M. Balindong, a pillar of the Bangsamoro Parliament and a dedicated servant of the Moro people. His lifelong commitment to justice, peace, and self-governance has left an enduring legacy in the history of our struggle.

We pray to Allah ﷻ to forgive his shortcomings and grant him the highest place in Jannah — Jannatul Firdaus.

Our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. The Bangsamoro will always remember his service and leadership.
