'''Datu Mombao Mamalinding Romato''' (February 15, 1939 - July 12, 2003) was a [[Filipino|Filipino]] Muslim political figure who served as the Mayor of the Municipality of [[Butig, Lanao del Sur]], [[Philippines]] from 1978 to 1986 and as [[Officer in Charge (Philippines)|Officer In Charge]] Mayor in 1998. He came from a long lineage of [[Maranao]] royal rulers and freedom fighters in Mindanao.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bangsamoro Political Family |url=https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100046906275159 |website=Facebook.com}}</ref> |
|||
==Early life and education== |
|||
Romato was born in Poktan, Butig, Lanao to Haji Said Romato of [[Masiu|Masiu, Lanao del Sur]] and Bai Moki Mamalinding of Butig, the sister of Sultan Bao of Butig. He was married to Raisalam Ariman, daughter of Sultan Haji Zaman Ariman of Timbab, Butig, Lanao del Sur. Romato received his early education at Kamilol Islam College in Marawi and [[Our Lady of Peace High School]] in [[Malabang, Lanao del Sur]]. He finished his Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts and Bachelor of Laws at the [[University of Manila]] in 1965 and 1969, respectively. |
|||
==Political career and legacy== |
|||
Romato was appointed as Mayor of the then undivided Municipality of Butig by President [[Ferdinand Marcos]] in 1978 and was elected to the same position many times until the late 1980s. He was a close ally of the prominent Filipino Muslim political leader [[Mohammad Ali Dimaporo]]. During his tenure, he worked tirelessly to rebuild the war-torn town of Butig, which had served as a center of [[Bangsamoro]] resistance in Mindanao since the [[Spanish colonial]] times in the Philippines. <ref>{{cite journal |last1=Diamaoden |first1=Arsalan |title=Butig, Lanao del Sur, The Cradle of Meranaw Civilization: A Critical Analysis |journal=Psychology and Education: A |date=November 26, 2022 |volume=5 |page=862-870 |url=https://journals.indexcopernicus.com/api/file/viewByFileId/1749082 |access-date=16 June 2024}}</ref> He implemented a "no-guns/weapons" policy in public places to prevent violent encounters and worked to eliminate crimes and clan wars ([[rido]]) in his hometown. Romato is remembered for restoring [[peace]] and reviving livelihoods of mostly farmers and traders in Butig. He was cited for uniting all the families of Butig during his time as mayor and was seen as a personification of the modern [[Maranao]] [[datu]] who served the people with integrity, bringing peace and prosperity to the community. During his term as mayor, he ordered the construction of several [[farm-to-market roads]] and bridges to generate local economic productivity. He also established the Butig National High School in 1985 to promote education and learning among the local youth.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bangsamoro Political Family |url=https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100046906275159 |website=Facebook.com}}</ref> |
|||
In July 1998, after a deadly election-related incident, Romato was appointed officer-in-charge mayor of Butig by the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) pending the conduct and results of a special election. |
|||
==Family in politics== |
|||
Romato's relatives also held political positions in central [[Mindanao]]. |
|||
After his term and following the [[EDSA People Power Revolution]] in 1986, President [[Corazon Aquino]] appointed Romato's cousin Sangcad Mamalinding Bao as officer-in-charge mayor of Butig. In 1988, his younger brother Abdulrahman Mamalinding Romato, who was a founder and commander of Camp Bushra (in Butig, Lanao del Sur) of the [[Moro National Liberation Front]] (MNLF) and then later the [[Moro Islamic Liberation Front]] (MILF) was elected Mayor of Butig. |
|||
Romato's uncle Sultan Macabayao Macadato, served as the first municipal mayor of Butig, Lanao del Sur. He was also related to several other Butig mayors, including his cousin Sultan Macalinog Mamalinding Bao and nephew Ibrahim Mitoon Macadato. |
|||
On the regional level, his niece Bai Rasmia Usman Romato Salic served as Assemblywoman in the [[6th ARMM Regional Legislative Assembly]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Livsey |first1=Marc |title=ARMM Regional Election 2008 |url=https://aceproject.org/ero-en/regions/asia/PH/philippines-final-report-regional-elections-anfrel/at_download/file |website=ACE Electoral Knowledge Network |publisher=The Asian Network for Free Elections (ANFREL) |access-date=16 June 2024}}</ref> She is married to Sultan Fahad "Pre" Salic, a three-term Mayor of [[Marawi City]]. |
|||
