THE Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) is building a modern public market worth P25 million in North Upi, Maguindanao del Norte.
Naguib Sinarimbo, head of the Ministry of the Interior and Local Government (MILG), said the project is part of the agency’s Bangsamoro Local Economic Support Service program which aims to help local government units use their corporate power to increase and improve revenue generation.
He emphasized the importance of Upi’s Muslims, Christians and Indigenous Peoples in maintaining the Bangsamoro’s peace gains.
Sinarimbo, together with North Upi Mayor Ma. Rona Cristina Piang-Flores and other local government officials, led the groundbreaking ceremony Tuesday for the construction of the modern public market.
He noted that the BARMM government has allocated resources to ensure that public markets being built under the MILG are “not only functional and aesthetically pleasing but also symbolic of Bangsamoro’s architectural heritage.”
Meanwhile, Sinarimbo emphasized the importance of Upi’s Muslims, Christians and indigenous peoples in maintaining the Bangsamoro’s peace gains.
