Mariam Mangudadatu

Last updated

The former Maguindanao province was dissolved into two new provinces following the 2022 Maguindanao division plebiscite on September 17, 2022, and she was supposed to become acting governor of the new Maguindanao del Sur province. [8] However this was uncertain, since the relevant provision presumes that the plebiscite would be held before the May 2022 national elections but the division vote was postponed after that date. [9] [10] She assumed the position and took her oath as governor of the new province on October 13. [11]

She was named Officer in Charge (OIC) of the province on April 5, 2023 by President Bongbong Marcos in an attempt to resolve the uncertainty of leadership in the province. [12] She opposed the appointment as OIC, believing she has the mandate to be acting governor as per the province's charter law. [13] However, she took oath as OIC of the province on April 28, 2023. [14]

Personal life

Sangki-Mangudadatu is married to Suharto Mangudadatu and they have three children, including Pax Ali. [5]

Notes

  1. Acting until April 5, 2023 which was unrecognized by the Philippine national and Bangsamoro regional governments; Appointed as Officer in Charge (OIC) by the national government on April 5, 2023; OIC status unrecognized by Mangudadatu until April 28, 2023
  2. Maguindanao was abolished following the 2022 plebiscite on September 17, 2022 to divide it into Maguindanao del Sur and Maguindanao del Norte. However Mangudadatu continued to exercise the position [1] until the officials for both provinces including the governor were determined.
