Governor Abdulraof "Gob Sam" Macacua delivered his first State of the Province Address (SOPA) on Thursday afternoon, July 4, addressing the constituents of Maguindanao del Norte province held in Cotabato city.

"It is indeed a great honor to serve our constituents and lead the journey of transformation and renewal from a war-torn province to a PREMIER Maguindanao del Norte in Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao," the Chief executive said.

In his first SOPA, Governor Macacua asserted that the province anchored its 7-point executive agenda with the 12-point priority agenda of BARMM government led by BARMM Chief Minister Ahod "Al Haj Murad" Ebrahim which in turn, is also binded to President Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos, Jr.’s brand of governance; the “Bagong Pilipinas”. That is, an enabling government that reaches out to the people, dismantling structural disablers by enlisting the active involvement of citizens and private groups.

According to the Governor, as a newly created province, he acknowledges the birthing pains his administration had experienced but with the resilience, dedication, and compromise that the officials have displayed, he is optimistic that Maguindanao del Norte will continue to thrive.

"I can clearly recall the hardships and challenges that confronted us when we started the government of Maguindanao del Norte and one of those is the legal challenges, exploited to cripple the delivery of basic services to our people,” he continued.

The Governor profoundly expressed his gratitude for the fervent commitment and collaboration of the Provincial Local Government Unit, the twelve (12) municipalities, and the National and BARMM government in achieving progress for Maguindanao del Norte.

During the SOPA, Governor Macacua had presented the significant achievements his administration accomplished. He went on to present the further initiative of his administration through the continuing support of the National and BARMM government and the assistance of Sangguniang Panlalawigan under the leadership of Vice Governor Abdulnasser “Thong” Abas.

“Sa lumipas na mga buwan at taon, masasabi kong marami nang mga programa at proyekto na ating naisakatuparan.”

"The construction of the new Provincial Capitol in Sultan Kudarat and other provincial offices; pushing for the realization of the international airport in Sultan Mastura; lobbying for the establishment of the following: Salamat Hashim Medical Center in Parang; Halal Center with Slaughter House, Business Center, Training Center, Solid Waste Disposal Area, Sewage Treatment Plant, and Temporary Holding Area, and providing full support for the establishment of the BARMM regional center in Parang,” he went on.

Among the personages present were Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity (OPAPRU) Secretary Carlito Galvez Jr., BARMM Chief Minister Ahod Ebrahim, officials and representatives of the Bangsamoro government, Bangsamoro Transition Authority Members of Parliament, local chief executives, Civil Society Organizations, line agencies, religious sector, provincial and municipal employees, and stakeholders.
