On November 26 2009, President Arroyo placed ARRM under the supervision of the national government. Appointing Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno to take charge.
Secretary Ronaldo Puno has the following powers (delegated by the President):
1. Suspend all public officials in Maguindanao
2. Relieve all military and police commanders within the area
3. Appoint officers-in-charge to positions (posts) that will be vacated due to the suspension
Even though there are some areas that are under state of emergency this does not stop the local government to function as normal.
This act of the national government to take over the region will remain in force until such time the perpretators of the massacre will be found guilty and the case will be resolved.
