During the deliberations, DCMAO contributed recommendations, technical inputs, and policy perspectives to ensure that the proposed measure considers the religious practices, cultural traditions, and welfare of the Muslim community. The Office emphasized the importance of maintaining the dignity and sanctity of Muslim burial grounds through a responsive and culturally appropriate management system.
The hearing also highlighted the importance of collaboration among concerned government offices, Muslim organizations, and stakeholders in developing policies that promote efficient public service delivery while respecting the rights and traditions of the Muslim constituents of Davao City.
DCMAO remains committed to supporting the legislative initiatives of the City Government of Davao in advancing inclusive governance, strengthening institutional coordination, and safeguarding the religious and cultural heritage of the Bangsamoro and Muslim community.
