Project Tabang: Jolo, Sulu

Project Tabang Jolo Sulu -1

JOLO, SULU – Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) Chief Minister Ahod “Al Haj Murad” Ebrahim graces 5th Project TABANG or Tulong Alay sa Bangsamorong Nangangailangan on 9 March 2020.

Since its kickoff in September 2019, the Bangsamoro Government has already extended its services to the people of Cotabato City, Maguindanao, Marawi City, Lanao del Sur, Pikit, North Cotabato, and Tawi-Tawi.

The activity aimed to benefit the affected families of the fire incident in February 2020, as well as to extend its usual TABANG services to the Bangsamoro People in Sulu.

“We believe in that one of the best ways to introduce the government to the people is bring it closer to them, hence, this project. Ngayon pong mag-iisang taon na ang BARMM, ay ninanais po naming mas makilala pa ng mga kapatid namin sa Sulu ang bagong pamahalaan at ang programa’t polisiyang aming binabalangkas tungo sa isang maunlad na rehiyon”, Chief Minister Ebrahim said in his speech.

“Wala kaming pinangarap noong sumali sa rebulusyon kundi ang magserbisyo sa mga tao. Basically, it is service to the people and service to Allah (swt) — Alhamdulillah! Ngayon binigyan tayo ng pagkakataon na ang serbisyo natin ay hindi na bilang rebelde, kundi bilang gobyerno na”, he continued.

Chief Minister Ebrahim also introduced the Ayudang Medikal Mula sa Bangsamoro Government or AMBAG, which will be launched soon in Sulu and other neighbouring areas – a medical assistance program intended to enhance accessibility to health services and help the Bangsamoro constituents avail of the needed medicines, and medical procedures.

The Bangsamoro Autonomous Government is grateful for the overwhelming attendance of Sulu people in yesterday’s event.
