The Bangsamoro government’s initiative to digitize services throughout the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao has received backing from the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) (BARMM).

Amenah Pangandaman, the budget secretary, made the commitment during a meeting on February 17 regarding the region’s bid for digital transformation with important BARMM representatives, officials from the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), and the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC), according to a news release from the DBM on Tuesday.

Pangandaman, a member of the Muslim community, was quoted by the DBM as saying, “Be assured that we, at the national government and the entire ICT industry, are in full support of your mission to develop a sound, systematic, transparent, and responsible form of governance.

Pangandaman mentioned that the DBM has a roadmap for its digital transformation that aspires to consolidate all fiscally-related transactions into a single tool and a single source of truth.

She noted that other goals of the roadmap include advancing fiscal transparency, management, and accountability in government, preventing red tape and other corruption-related activities through paperless transactions, and lowering costs associated with manual transactions.

Pangandaman recognized that BARMM has been implementing a number of digitalization initiatives to enhance company efficiency and support the activation of savings priority programs in the area.

The DBM stated that the Bangsamoro government’s digitalization initiatives include adapting the Digitized Official Receipt System and having discussions about money transactions, email transmissions, account management, and verification systems.

Pangandaman emphasized that digitalizing public services would play a significant part in attaining “inclusive” growth for every Filipino, saying, “We want to make sure that BARMM will not be left behind in all these attempts.”

According to Pangandaman, digital transformation will improve bureaucratic efficiency, increase openness in government, and strengthen intergovernmental relationships.

“I would like to call on everyone — from the national and the Bangsamoro administration — to communicate, consult with one another, and support each other,” she added. “This will help fulfill our Plan for Prosperity — for Mindanao and the entire country.”

Pangandaman has pledged time and time again to support BARMM in order to ensure its prosperity and to make Mindanao “shine as the country of promise.”

Pangandaman authorized the discharge of BARMM’s portion of the region’s taxes, totaling more than PHP225 million, in November of last year.

The distribution of taxes gathered by the federal government in the BARMM is outlined in Section 10 of Republic Act 11054, also known as the Organic Law for the BARMM.

According to the law, the national government will receive a 25 percent distribution share of taxes, and the Bangsamoro government will receive a 75 percent distribution portion of taxes, including the shares of the constituent local government units.

The Bangsamoro government will receive a 25 percent share of the national government for the first ten years following the effective date of RA 11054.
