Tubod, Lanao del Norte – To enable the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) to efficiently process the hajj documents of Muslim residents in this fast-rising province, the provincial government of Lanao del Norte donated a brand-new computer set to its provincial office based at the Provincial Government Center, Tubod.

On August 19, 2011, Governor Khalid Dimaporo through the Provincial Community Affairs Office (PCAO) turned-over the one set desktop computer to NCMF Acting Provincial Director Sarah Lomondot Camama.

“I would like to thank PGLDN, especially the honourable Gov. Khalid Dimaporo for giving us this computer. This would be a great help to our work”, Camama expressed.

The desktop computer consists of CPU, LCD screen, keyboard, mouse, audio speaker, and printer.

Last Feb 18, 2010 through Republic Act 9997 (or the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos Act of 2009), the NCMF was created to take over the functions of the abolished Office on Muslim Affairs (OMA).

The NCMF is tasked to provide ample protection to the estimated five million Muslim Filipinos and gave voice in governance. As part of its 5-year strategic development plan, NCMF is also mandated to preserve the Islamic cultural heritage and to complement the administration's thrust for peace and development.

Presently, the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos is headed by Secretary Bai Omera D. Dianalan Lucman. VNL & LAR/PIO-LDN
