Barangay officials and traditional community leaders separately told reporters on Friday, August 22, that an outreach team from the office of the lawyer Naguib Sinarimbo, a member of the Bangsamoro parliament, had provided with free medicines for various ailments the Muslims, Christians and ethnic Tedurays who availed of their services in the two areas last Wednesday, August 20.

Sinarimbo said their medical mission was supported by the health minister of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, the physician-ophthalmologist Kadil Sinolinding, Jr., and BARMM’s chief minister, Abdulrauf Macacua.
