Cotabato City, April 14, 2025 — The Session Hall of the Bangsamoro Government Center welcomed a fresh yet determined face today, as Member of Parliament Benito attended his first session in the 4th Regular Session of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA).
Radiating quiet confidence, MP Benito officially took his seat among fellow lawmakers, signaling not just his presence—but his clear intent to actively take part in shaping the future of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region.
In this significant first appearance, MP Benito affirmed his membership in seven key parliamentary committees, a strong indication of his commitment to serve across a wide range of sectors:
1. Committee on Rules – ensuring the smooth flow of legislative processes;
2. Blue Ribbon Committee – overseeing accountability and ethical governance;
3. Committee on Finance, Budget and Management – guarding the region’s fiscal integrity;
4. Committee on Environment, Natural Resources and Energy – advocating for sustainable resource management;
5. Committee on Trade, Investment, and Tourism – driving economic growth and regional promotion;
6. Committee on Human Settlements and Development – tackling housing and urban planning issues;
7. Committee on Women, Youth, and Persons With Disabilities (PWDs) – amplifying voices that are often unheard.
Observers noted Benito’s attentive presence and deliberate engagement during the session, marking a promising start to what could be an impactful term.
As the BTA continues to navigate the complex transition towards genuine autonomy, MP Benito’s active participation in these critical committees is seen as a welcome reinforcement of the Parliament’s mandate to build a stronger, more inclusive Bangsamoro.
