Maguindanao will soon have its regular acting governor who will oversee the provincial government's operation until an elected governor shall have assumed office, officials here said.
Ali Macabalang, chief of the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao-Bureau of Public Information, said the selection committee formed by ARMM Governor Mamintal Adiong, was wrapping up its selection process for acting governor, presently held in concurrent capacity by Nariman Ambolodto who was named acting vice governor.
Local officials, including mayors and board members, were asking the ARMM leadership to expedite the selection process as they believe it was inappropriate for an acting vice governor, who chairs the provincial legislative body, to act as acting governor, an executive position.
At least seven aspirants were screened by the selection committee.
Adiong earlier said he has given the selection committee “full autonomy†in choosing an acting governor for Maguindanao.
“People must have perceived that it was Mrs. Ambolodto who was named acting governor. No, she wasn’t. She is even eligible to apply for the position of acting governor is she wants to become one. She can submit herself for screening by the selection committee,†Macabalang said.
