Jum Jainudin Akbar (3 September 1963 – 11 November 2016) was a Filipina politician who served two terms as provincial governor of Basilan.[1] She was the widow of assassinated Congressman Wahab Akbar. Akbar, along with other Mindanao governors, had a hand in supporting the Bangsamoro Basic Law.[2]
Akbar was the first female governor of the Province of Basilan, and was elected during the May 2007 elections. She pledged a campaign promise of providing free rubber trees, fertilizers and polybags to farmers of the region.[3]
In her first term as governor, an IED went off near her home. The explosion was thought by authorities to be linked to politics.[4]
Akbar handled the evacuation and retrieval operations at Al Barka after the July 2007 massacre of Philippine Army troops in a rebel ambush during her tenure.[3]
Deathedit
She died in office on 11 November 2016.[5] She is survived by her son, Al-Qauid.[citation needed]
