Sectoral accreditation is not a formalityโit is earned through real sacrifice. Community organizations invested scarce resources, time, and collective effort to comply with complex legal and bureaucratic requirements, conducting assemblies, validations, and grassroots mobilization despite limited means. They complied because they trusted the system.

These organizations spent over a year and resources complying with existing laws. Canceling their status retroactively violates due process, disregards legitimate reliance on the law, and will cause grave injustice ahead of the 2026 elections. This directly contradicts the spirit of the Bangsamoro Organic Law, which promised empowermentโnot exclusion. ๐๐ข๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐๐ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ญ๐๐. ๐๐ฑ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐๐, ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ง๐ฒ ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐จ๐ง๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ, ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐๐๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ.
