Ustadz Mubarak Dumato, Salig program focal person, said the Barmm government, regardless of religion and ethnicity, is not only focusing on the geographical boundaries of the autonomous region in providing assistance to calamity victims. Monday's relief distribution was facilitated by City Social Welfare and Development Office of Zamboanga City, Baliwasan village council, and volunteers from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front's organic members in the city. Barmm conducted its first wave of relief distribution on Friday, March 26.
