She said “Siya sa BARMM na langon a benggulan tano na nasisita a maka-align sa Bagsamoro Moral Governance. Langon a gilbekan tano na ya tanu i-ebpon na su panduan nu Agama Islam.

 [In the BARMM region, all the things that we do should be associated with Moral Governance. All the things that we do should be started with the teachings of Islamic Values. It should be held in our hearts that whatever we do should have a good intention and benefit everyone. Let us boost those values in our work every day. We saw in the Bangsamoro Development Agency and MOST that we should do level-off and understanding for the community and organization and what values are upright for the organization. If individuals have different beliefs, let us remind our brothers and sisters to become virtuous, especially as a member of the organization. We pray for your success to Allah (SWT) for whatever goals you have for the organization. Whatever you desire, we will support you.]

Moreover, Mr. Nasser M. Ali, Manager of the CARDMPC has thanked Minister Silongan for giving them a training that will help them stabilize the organization more. He said during the interview, “Unang una para matuto ang aking mga kasamahan sa moral governance, kailangan namin eto para na rin sa pagbabago. Malaking tulong ito dahil kung may mga nag-iba ang landas sakanila, maitutuwid nila ito. May mga values kase na nakasanayan na labag sa moral governance at sana mabago ito ng mga facilitator. Sana matutunan nila ng mas maigi ang moral governance. Nagpapasalamat ako sa BARMM, sa MOST at kay Minister Silongan, siya yung kauna-unahang minister na nakatapak ditto sa Barangay Nasapian na bagong sakop na ng BARMM ngayon. Nakakainspire yung binigay na mensahe para sa mga participants. Malaking pasasalamat po namin.”

[First of all, our cooperative members will learn more about moral governance; we need this for a change. It is a big help for us because if individuals have changed differently, they will change for the better. Some values were practiced and against moral governance, now we want our facilitator to enlighten us. I hope they will learn well about moral governance. I thank the BARMM, MOST, and Minister Silongan. She is the first minister who stepped foot here in Barangay Nasapian, a new territory of BARMM today. We have been inspired by her message for participants. A big thanks from us.]
