Redesign of ARMM website

Meantime, the ARMM website [www.armm.gov.ph.] was re-launched recently after ARMM officer-in-charge Governor Mujiv Hataman came up with his report on his 100 days in office.

The website now features a portion where people can send messages, comments, suggestions and complaints to the governor through the “iShare mo kay RG” link.

The visitor will have to fill up the form, write his or her message and send it to the governor.

Transactions of the regional government and agencies are also shown on the website as part of Hataman’s effort to promote transparency.
