COTABATO CITY --- Dayang Carlsum Sangkula Jumaide
has been sworn in as the new secretary of the Department of Agrarian Reform in the
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (DAR-ARMM).
Secretary Jumaide formally took her oath of
office last October 2 before ARMM Executive Secretary Atty. Laisa Alamia.
“We are confident that Secretary Jumaide will
serve the agrarian reform partners’ interest in our region,” Atty. Alamia said.
Secretary Jumaide replaces Amihilda Sangcopan
who filed her resignation in August.
Sangcopan, partylist Anak Mindanao’s 3rd
nominee for the House of Representatives, will be taking over the vacated seat
of Sitti Djalia Turabin-Hataman who announced her resignation from her post on
October 2.
Before Secretary Jumaide’s latest
appointment, she served as assistant secretary of the ARMM’s Health department
for four years. Starting as a staff nurse at the Datu Alawaddin Bandon Sr.
Memorial Hospital in Tawi-tawi (1993-2000), Secretary Jumaide became a health
information officer in the same province (2000-2006), project officer of the US
Agency for International Development (2006-2010), and regional assemblywoman.
Municipal and provincial agrarian reform
officers turned over the department's banner and key of responsibilities to the
new DAR-ARMM chief. They also handed over a transition report, a personnel
inventory and property plan, and an equipment report.
“To Secretary Dayang, I wish her the best.
Hope you’ll find it an honor to serve our farmers in the ARMM. I did that for
30 beautiful months. Congratulations,” former secretary Sangcopan said.
The DAR-ARMM has been consistent in achieving
100 percent compliance to the Seal of Transparency and open government
partnership. The department installed institutional feedback mechanisms to
bridge the gaps in service delivery from the municipal to the provincial and
regional offices.
“It’s a new challenge for me but I assure you
that the DAR-ARMM will continue to implement, facilitate, and coordinate the
delivery of support services to the agrarian reform beneficiaries,” Secretary
Jumaide said.
“Let’s sustain the gains and bring in more
reforms. Let’s see to it that the lives of our beneficiaries are exponentially
blessed and enhanced beyond the ordinary,” she added.
The DAR-ARMM has 66,000 agrarian reform
partners situated in 103 Agrarian Reform Communities. They also registered a
total of 357 Agrarian Reform Partner Organizations. (BUREAU OF PUBLIC
