MP Benito Expresses Strong Support to the 1st Session of LBO Council of Leaders

COTABATO CITY – In a heartfelt message, Member of Parliament Abdulbasit R. Benito extended his full support to the historic first session of the League of Bangsamoro Organizations (LBO) Council of Leaders, recognizing it as a vital step toward stronger grassroots leadership and inclusive governance in the region.
Describing the Council’s formation as both “timely and essential,” MP Benito praised the LBO for being a unifying platform that amplifies the voices of diverse Bangsamoro communities. “You are not just participants,” he said, “you are co-builders of the future we are shaping together.”
He emphasized the League’s meaningful role in two key initiatives his office is currently spearheading: the Regional Public Consultation on the Reapportionment of the Seven Parliamentary Districts of Sulu, and the proposed legislation creating the Bangsamoro Civil Society Organizations Coordination Office.
MP Benito lauded the LBO’s valuable contributions to both processes, from advocating fair representation to shaping inclusive policy recommendations.
“Rest assured that my office remains your steadfast partner — in Parliament and beyond,” he affirmed, closing with a message of solidarity and hope that the newly formed Council will become a beacon of unity and lasting progress for the Bangsamoro.
