MANILA<\/strong>\u2014 Anak Mindanao (AMIN) Partylist Rep. Sitti Djalia Turabin-Hataman on Monday announced her resignation from her post in the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n

In a privilege speech during a plenary session, Turabin-Hataman said she intends to go back to her \u201chome\u201d and \u201cher people\u201d not as a congresswoman, but \u201cas one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis was no easy decision, and perhaps the craziest I\u2019ve done so far. But those who knew me, and knew my soul, have long suspected I was longing to be back home,\u201d Turabin-Hataman said.<\/p>\n

Her post will be assumed by AMIN Partylist\u2019s third nominee, Amihilda Sangcopan, who was Anak Mindanao sa Kongreso\u2019s\u00a0chief of staff from the 12th to 14th Congress.<\/p>\n

Turabin-Hataman, who is one of the co-authors of the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) drafted by the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC), called on her colleagues for the passage of the BBL.<\/p>\n

\u201cI leave appealing to your compassion and discernment, with hope in our leaders, and faith in the President to make true his vow to pass the BBL. I appeal to you, we may be a little too late, as we all know now, but please let us not miss this opportunity, probably the last, to win back our people,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I go back, may this be a gift I can offer them from you, not a gift as a token of benevolence, but a gift we so truly deserve, not just from the House of Representatives, not just from this administration, but form the Filipino people,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Turabin-Hataman served as the Executive Director of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos in 2010 and became AMIN\u2019s representative in the 16th and 17th Congress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
