History

When the Bangsamoro was created in 2019 to supplant the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, 63 barangays in the province of Cotabato were grouped with the newer autonomous region in the second part of the plebiscite held in February 6. [1] The mother municipalities and Cotabato province remained part of Soccsksargen. [2]

By March 2020, these barangays were designated as a Special Geographic Area (SGA) of the Bangsamoro region. [3]

On August 17, 2023, the bills consolidating the SGA barangays into 8 municipalities were approved by the Bangsamoro Parliament, [4] The particular bill creating Pahamuddin was Bangsamoro Autonomy Act No. 41. [5] The municipality's name was originally proposed to be named as Pahamudin, with a single "d". [6]

A plebiscite was held on April 13, 2024, and voters approved all eight bills reconstituting the SGA barangays to eight municipalities including Pahamuddin, where 5,974 voted in favor of its creation while 116 voted against. The Bangsamoro regional government will provide P2.5 million in funding for the municipal government until it gets its share of income from the National Tax Allotment. [7] Pahamuddin was created from 12 barangays of Pigcawayan. [5]
