Jum Jainudin Akbar (LKS-KAM) is a Filipino politician and is currently in her second term as provincial governor of Basilan.[1] She is the wife of deceased strongman Wahab Akbar.
Political Activity
Akbar is the first female governor of the Province of Basilan, and was elected during the May 2007 elections. However, Jum had substantial political experience as a result of her years as an active political partner to her husband and predecessor, Wahab Akbar. Upon election Gov. Akbar pledged to fulfill a campaign promise of providing free rubber trees, fertilizers and polybags to farmers of the region, at a cost of thirty million pesos or more.[2]
The governor is considered soft-spoken and cool, but highly competent. According to her official bio, she has both "a male competitive capacity and female collaborative capability," giving her the strength to tailor her leadership style to suit individual cases or situations. The bio claims she deftly handled the evacuation and retrieval operations at Al Barka after the July 2007 massacre of Philippine Army troops by rebel ambush.[2]
