Bangsamoro Member of Parliament (MP) Akmad Abas has not endorsed local candidates in five towns in Maguindanao as claimed by a false post circulating on Facebook.
“Let us not spread lies and falsehood,” said Abas, who is popularly known as Commander Jack, chief of the Eastern Mindanao Front of the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces, the armed wing of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
Abas denied affixing his signature to an undated document circulating on Facebook and addressed to reelectionist Maguindanao Gov. Bai Mariam Sangki-Mangudadatu.
The bogus document endorsed to Sangki-Mangudadatu (Nacionalista Party) the “consensus of the Matalam-Pendatun-Mangelen Family Alliance, the Southern Ligawasan Alliance of Municipalities and the MILF Alliances / Bangsamoro Ligawasan Development Corp.” to include some local candidates in her party.
The letter endorsed certain candidates vying for mayors and vice mayors in the towns of Pagalungan, Datu Paglas, Gen. SK Pendatun, Paglat and Sultan sa Barongis to become Sangki-Mangudadatu’s partymates.
