Sulu Declared Part of Zambo Peninsula
The Philippine Star
|August 03, 2025
To ensure continued delivery of government services, President Marcos has declared the province of Sulu as part of Zamboanga peninsula, in compliance with a Supreme Court (SC) ruling excluding the province from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
Marcos signed Executive Order (EO) 91 on July 30, citing the "urgent need to effectively implement and address the impact of the SC decision and resolution" on Sulu.
EO 91 stressed the need to ensure uninterrupted government operations and delivery of essential projects, programs and activities in the province.
In September 2024, the high tribunal excluded Sulu from the BARMM after residents rejected the ratification of the Bangsamoro Organic Law, which established the Bangsamoro region.
