The event brought together the MPOS workforce to celebrate successes and reaffirm its commitment to moral governance and public service.
In an opening message, Minister Hussein P.

The Year-End Assessment included detailed presentations on the Ministry’s budget utilization and key accomplishments from its Administrative and Finance Division, Operation Services, and Technical Sections. Each division received positive feedback from MPOS’ leadership, further strengthening the workforce’s commitment to enhancing service delivery and meeting the needs of the Bangsamoro people.
In 2024, MPOS made significant strides through its Safe BARMM program, which reached 24 conflict-affected municipalities in the region. The program facilitated dialogues addressing public order and safety issues and trained 720 Early Warning and Early Response (EWER) volunteers in Maguindanao del Sur. MPOS also coordinated with law enforcement agencies through its CLEAR program, holding seven meetings across the BARMM provinces to address criminal activities, gaps in enforcement, and challenges law enforcement agencies face.
MPOS also advanced its Peace Building Initiatives (PBI) by supporting vulnerable groups, including the 433 vulnerable combatants, 100 widows of violent extremists, 152 orphans of violent extremists, 300 former local insurgents, 118 returning local insurgents, and 100 vulnerable, neglected, and marginalized institutions. The Sustaining Journey to Peace (SJTP) initiative furthered peacebuilding efforts by training civil society organizations, law enforcement personnel, and grassroots peacebuilders. Notably, Jubaida S. Said was recognized as the 2024 Bangsamoro Peace Champion for her contributions to peace and social development. Additionally, the Ministry supported the 4th Bangsamoro Peace Promotion Fellowship, which trained 44 youth peacebuilders.
The Ministry also played a vital role in commemorating significant historical events during the 4th Bangsamoro History Month, organizing activities to preserve the region’s history and promote healing. The observance included the 3rd Bangsamoro Tagisan ng Talino and other key events like the Bud Dajo Massacre and the signing of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro. Furthermore, the Ministry continued its Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) efforts, resolving 92 rido cases and providing support to local mediators. With these initiatives, MPOS reinforced its commitment to fostering peace, reconciliation, and sustainable development across the Bangsamoro region.
Following the assessment, the MPOS Gala Night provided a chance for employees to celebrate their achievements in style, with an all-white theme. The event also recognized outstanding employees with awards such as Most Diligent, Most Punctual, and Recognition for Civil Service and Board Passers.
Mr. Rafsan Johnny Abdul, Division Chief of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Division (ADRD), reflected on the Ministry’s milestones, stating, “𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘶𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴, 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘶𝘱𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘶𝘴 𝘣𝘺 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴.”
The teambuilding activities on the final day saw employees compete in a fun, collaborative games, with teams from the Administrative and Finance Division, Operation Services, and Technical Sections vying for the top honor. The Technical Team emerged as the Overall Champion in a series of engaging games that fosters camaraderie and teamwork.
