​Isang taon na ang nakalipas mula nang ihalal ng mga mamamayan ng Basilan si Governor Mujiv Hataman bilang Gobernador ng Basilan. Sa loob lamang ng isang taon, isang malaking pagbabago ang naramdaman ng lalawigan—isang pagbabago na hindi lamang nakikita sa mga imprastraktura, kundi lalo’t higit sa pakikitungo ng pamahalaan sa ordinaryong mamamayan.

​Mula nang siya ay maupo, naging mas ramdam ng mga Basileño ang gobyerno na mas malapit, mas nakikinig, at mas mabilis umaksyon sa kanilang mga pangangailangan.

​Noong panahon ng kampanya, may isang bitiwang pangako si Gov. Mujiv S. Hataman na tumatak sa isipan ng marami: gagawin niyang isang "People's Capitol" o Kapitolyo ng Mamamayan ang pamahalaang panlalawigan.

​Ngayong isang taon na ang lumipas, napatunayan niyang hindi lamang ito isang mabulaklak na islogan sa eleksyon.

​Bukas na Pintuan: Ang kapitolyo na dati ay tila may pader sa pagitan ng mga opisyal at ng publiko ay naging isang silungan na bukas para sa lahat.

​Direktang Serbisyo: Binuksan ang mga programa kung saan ang tulong—mula sa medikal, edukasyon, hanggang sa pangkabuhayan—ay madaling naa-access ng kahit sinong lumapit.

​Ang tatak ng pamumuno ni Governor Mijiv Hataman sa nakalipas na taon ay ang kanyang personal na pagdalo sa mga suliranin ng kanyang mga nasasakupan. Hindi siya ang uri ng pinuno na nag-aabang lamang ng ulat sa loob ng isang de-aircon na opisina.

​"Ang tunay na pamumuno ay hindi sinusukat sa taas ng posisyon, kundi sa lalim ng iyong ugnayan sa mga taong nagluklok sa iyo."

​Madalas siyang makitang bumababa sa mga komunidad, personal na kinakausap ang mga magsasaka, mangingisda, at mga lokal na lider upang alamin ang kanilang mga hinaing. Sa ganitong paraan, ang mga tulong at proyekto ng pamahalaan ay direktang nakakarating sa mga nangangailangan nang walang labis na burukrasya.

​Sa kanyang unang taon, pinatunayan ni Gov. Mujiv Hataman na siya ay isang tunay na "People's Governor." Binalik niya ang kapangyarihan at ang pagmamay-ari ng pamahalaan sa mga mismong mamamayan ng Basilan. Sa pamamagitan ng pagiging tapat sa kanyang mga pangako, nagdala siya ng bagong pag-asa at inspirasyon na ang gobyerno ay katuwang, kakampi, at laging maaasahan ng bawat Basileño.

​Habang nagpapatuloy ang kanyang termino, inaasahan ng marami na mas lalo pang mamamayagpag ang lalawigan ng Basilan sa ilalim ng isang pamunuan na may puso at tunay na malasakit sa kapwa.

The Basilan Unity Party stands in firm solidarity and immense pride as we honor the principled leadership of Governor Mujiv Hataman. In a political landscape often swayed by the shifting winds of convenience and personal gain, Governor Hataman remains a beacon of consistency, courage, and "Paninindigan."

​𝘼 𝙇𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙞𝙨 𝙉𝙤𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙎𝙖𝙡𝙚

​True leadership is measured not by the power one wields, but by the temptations one resists. Governor Hataman has proven, time and again—from his impactful years as Congressman to his current service as the Father of our Province—that he is literally not for sale.

​Integrity Over Influence: He has consistently refused to bow to monied interests or allow his decisions to be clouded by "bad influence" or political pressure.

​The Courage to Say No: His refusal to sign or align with the "Sara-Duterte" first articles of impeachment manifestation while he was a Congressman back then was not a matter of mere partisanship; it was a profound act of standing for the Truth.

​Principle Over Popularity: While others chose the path of least resistance, Governor Hataman chose the path of conscience. He stood his ground because his loyalty lies with the People of Basilan and the sanctity of our democratic institutions, not with political dynasties or temporary alliances.

​𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚

​Whether in the halls of Congress or the Capitol of Basilan, the "Mujiv Hataman Brand" of leadership remains unchanged:

​Transparency: A record that reflects honesty in every transaction.

​Resilience: An iron will that does not bend to intimidation.

​Vision: A commitment to a Basilan that is progressive, peaceful, and proud.
​Our Collective Pride

​The Basilan Unity Party recognizes that the People's Governor Mujiv S. Hataman refusal to be bought or coerced is what gives our province its dignity. We are proud to follow a leader who proves that integrity is more valuable than any budget, and truth is more powerful than any political pressure.

​Governor Mujiv Hataman is more than just a public servant; he is the embodiment of the Basileño spirit—brave, principled, and unyielding in the face of wrong.

​"𝑨𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒖𝒏𝒂𝒚 𝒏𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊 𝒏𝒂𝒃𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊, 𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒑𝒚𝒐 𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒊 𝒏𝒂𝒊𝒔𝒂𝒔𝒂𝒏𝒍𝒂."

​PADAYON, GOV. MUJIV HATAMAN!

​For the first time in history, the air in Isabela City is charged with a different kind of energy—the rhythmic bounce of basketballs, the sharp whistle of referees, and the unified cheers of athletes from across Region 9 (Zamboanga peninsula). The hosting of the 2026 Zamboanga Peninsula Regional Athletic Association (ZPRAA) Meet marks a definitive turning point for the city, signaling its emergence as a premier sports hub in Southern Philippines.

​What was once a distant aspiration has become a vibrant reality. This week, thousands of student-athletes, coaches, and spectators have gathered to witness a city transformed, proving that Isabela is no longer just a participant in regional progress—it is a leader.

𝑨 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒃𝒖𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒓𝒚 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒑

​The 𝑩𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒍𝒂𝒏 𝑼𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚 stands in tribute to the architects of this transformation. The realization of ZPRAA 2026 in Isabela City is the direct fruit of the "Good Governance" philosophy that has reshaped the local landscape.

​This achievement is a testament to the synergy between two visionary leaders:

​Mayor Sitti Djalia Turabin Hataman: Whose brand of governance brought compassion and meticulous planning to the city’s urban development.

People’s ​Governor Mujiv S. Hataman: Whose legislative and executive experience paved the way for province-wide reforms and massive infrastructure investment.

​Together, their partnership has bridged the gap between dreaming of a world-class city and building one.

​𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑪𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑺𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒍

​The facilities greeting the Region IX delegates are a far cry from the modest playgrounds of the past. Today, athletes compete in venues that meet international standards, including:

​The Magnificent Grandstand: A centerpiece of modern architecture and engineering.
​The Olympic-Size Swimming Pool: Offering a professional-grade aquatic arena for the region's best swimmers.

​State-of-the-Art Covered Courts & School Buildings: Providing safe, modern environments for both sports and scholarship.

​As the Basilan Unity Party aptly notes, these are not merely structures of cement and steel. They are monuments to a commitment—a promise kept to the youth of Isabela and Basilan and the entire Zamboanga Peninsula. These facilities represent the belief that our children deserve the very best tools to hone their talents and chase their dreams.

​𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒄𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒔

​Hosting ZPRAA 2026 is about more than winning medals; it is about rewriting the narrative of Isabela City and Basilan. It showcases a region that is peaceful, progressive, and prepared to host the Region.

​Through the reforms of Mayor Dadah and Mujiv Hataman leadership, the city has proven that "Good Governance" is the most effective engine for growth. As the games continue, the legacy of this hosting will live on in every local athlete who now has a place to train, and every citizen who can look at the new skyline of Isabela City with a renewed sense of pride.

​"This dream would remain just a dream if not for the transformative leadership that has reshaped our landscape. We celebrate the facilities, but more importantly, we celebrate the vision that made them possible."
