COTABATO CITY, Philippines โ A total of 40 low-income families in flood-affected communities in Cotabato province have received construction materials from the office of Bangsamoro parliament member Kadil Sinolinding Jr.
The beneficiaries come from the municipalities of Malidegao and Ligawasan in the Bangsamoro Special Geographic Area (SGA). They received cement, galvanized iron roofing sheets, plywood, and other housing materials to repair homes damaged by months of flooding.
Malidegao and Ligawasan are among the eight newly established municipalities under the SGA, a cluster of areas under the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. But these areas are geographically located in Cotabato province in Region 12.
Local officials, including Malidegao Mayor Arnal Timan, along with Moro community leaders in Ligawasan, confirmed that residents received the assistance during a series of community engagements conducted on March 25โ26 by Sinolindingโs public service mission team.
Sinolindingโs office, in coordination with Bangsamoro Chief Minister Abdulrauf Macacua, leads efforts to help rebuild homes damaged by flooding.
The two towns are situated near the 220,000-hectare Ligawasan Delta, a vast marshland that serves as a catch basin for floodwaters from major river systems.
Field teams from Sinolindingโs office in the 80-member Bangsamoro Parliament delivered the construction materials directly to beneficiaries across the SGA as part of the ongoing humanitarian mission.
