Itinalaga ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte si Maria Belen Sunga Acosta bilang chairperson ng Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA) para sa anim na taong termino, ayon sa Malacañang ngayong Miyerkules.
Ayon kay acting presidential spokesperson Karlo Nograles, ang appointment papers ni Acosta ay pinirmahan noong Enero 6 at siya ay magsisilbi sa kanyang post ng anim na taon.
"We wish Chairperson Acosta all the best in her new assignment, and are confident that she will continue the initiatives her predecessors pursued to accelerate the socioeconomic growth of Mindanao,” ani Nograles sa isang statement.
Sa hiwalay na pahayag, sinabi ng MinDa na si Acosta ay magiging ikawalong MinDA chairperson at ikalawang Mindanaoan female leader na pamumunuan ang ahensiya.
Papalitan ni Acosta si Emmanuel “Manny” Piñol na nag-resign noong nakaraang taon para tumakbo sa Senate seat sa May elections.
“As MinDA chair, she will lead in coordinating, harmonizing, and integrating various socioeconomic development efforts for Mindanao with inter-regional, Mindanao-wide, and sub-regional impacts,” batay sa isang statement ng ahensiya.
“Secretary Acosta will also act as the Philippine Signing Minister leading the participation of Mindanao and Palawan as country’s EAGA focus areas in the Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) sub-regional cooperation, given MinDA’s mandate as the permanent Philippine Coordinating Office for BIMP-EAGA under Republic Act 9996,” dagdag pa ng ahensiya.
Si Acosta ay dating councilor ng Davao City, ang bayan ni Pangulong Duterte.
