History

When the ARMM was succeeded by the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) in 2019, the regional departments of the former Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao were reconfigured into ministries of Bangsamoro.[1] The Ministry of Public Works succeeded from the ARMM regional office of the Department of Public Works and Highways.

Bangsamoro Interim Chief Minister Murad Ebrahim appointed himself as Minister of Public Works.[2] Murad took over the DPWH–ARMM, which was reorganized into the Ministry of Public Works on February 26, 2019 in an official turnover ceremony.[3] On November 11, 2019 as part of a cabinet reshuffle, Ebrahim transferred Finance Eduard Guerra to the MPW and named him as Public Works Minister.[4]

Role

The Ministry of Public Works is responsible for affairs relating to public works particularly the construction maintenance of infrastructure related to roads, ports, flood control and shore protection, and water resource development system in Bangsamoro. It also issues safety regulation covering both public and private structures in the region.[5]
