THE Ministry of the Interior and Local Government in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (MILG-Barmm) unveiled a three-story police station Thursday, March 17, in Datu Blah Sinsuant, Maguindanao.
Situated on the elevated area of the coast of Pura village, the P6.25-million project was funded through the Bangsamoro Appropriation Act (BAA) 2020.
MILG Minister Naguib Sinarimbo, who led the unveiling of the project, affirmed the unceasing support of Barmm in enhancing service delivery.
"Chief Minister [Ahod Ebrahim] instructed our office and the rest of the ministries to expedite the implementation of all projects," Sinarimbo said.
Police Brigadier General Arthur Cabalona, Police Regional Office-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region (PRO-BAR), director, expressed his gratitude to the leadership of Barmm for its various support to the police force.
"This municipal police station building is a testament of the Barmm government's support to its constituents. This will cater to the needs of our law enforcers and the community as a whole," Cabalona said.
He said provision of such conducive workplace will enable the police to provide quality public services to the peace-loving citizens of the municipality.
Datu Blah Sinsuat Mayor Datu Marshal Sinsuat has thanked the regional government for its continuous support, emphasizing that "if it wasn't for Barmm, they couldn't have a police station."
"We don't have a police station hence we let our police utilize the barangay hall of Pura," said Sinsuat.
Meanwhile, Sinarimbo said that for this year, 14 municipal police stations across the region are expected to be completed. (SunStar Zamboanga)
