It is our shared commitment and ambition that fuels our desire to achieve lasting progress in the Bangsamoro region,” the Budget Chief added.

The IGRB meeting aims to strengthen the harmonious working relationship between the National Government and Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) government, to attain lasting peace, prosperity, and inclusive and sustainable development in BARMM and the whole of Mindanao.
