Sha Elijah Dumama-Alba, Cabinet Secretary Mohd Asnin Pendatun, Chief of Staff Alvin-Yasheer Abdulgafar, Deputy Floor Leader Atty. Mary Ann Arnado, Member of the Parliament Baileng Mantawil, and Provincial Administrator of Maguindanao del Norte Tomanda Antok.

Pursuant to the executive order, the Ad Hoc committee considered, in determining of the qualifications of the applicants, their education preparation, experience, performance, accomplishments, reputation for honesty, integrity, incorruptibility, irreproachable conduct, and fidelity to moral governance and ethical standards. The committee then submitted to the Chief Minister a shortlist of nominees for every vacancy in the municipal positions in each of the eight new SGA towns.

Under the Bangsamoro Autonomy Acts creating the eight new SGA municipalities, the Chief Minister shall appoint its municipal officials with due regard to representation of women of the Bangsamoro. The officials shall continue to hold office until their successor shall have been elected in the next general elections for local officials. (Abdullah Matucan/BIO)
