President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. raised the need for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) to establish its public works and highways district office.

The chief executive instructed Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Manuel Bonoan to consider creating a DPWH district office that will only cater to BARMM's needs during a situation briefing in Camp Brig. Gen. Gonzalo Siongco in Awang, Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao del Norte.

"You should look into that because you'll make everything much easier kapag may (DPWH) district office that is designated to BARMM area. That’s why I asked about the bridges kasi ‘yan ang pinakamahirap ayusin e. Generally speaking, more or less kalsada nagagawa 'yan," Marcos said.

BARMM Interior Minister Naguib Sinarimbo said two critical bridges had been damaged, including the Nituan Bridge in Parang, and the Sarakan Bridge in Matanog.

The Office of the Press Secretary also said that one of the significant challenges is restoring the Labu-Labu Bridge. According to BARMM officials, they would be able to repair the bridge in three days.

Sinarimbo then reported damage to infrastructures in Datu Blah Sinsuat and Cotabato City, adding three blockages in those areas.
