Hadjiman Sabbihi Hataman Saliman, also known as Jim Hataman Saliman or Jim Saliman is a Filipino politician serving as the governor of Basilan since 2016. He previously served as the representative of Basilan's lone district from 2010 to 2016. Despite his nickname, he should not be confused with Benjamin Hataman—his cousin—who was arrested on murder charges for the assassination of Wahab Akbar in 2007. Hadjiman himself may or may not have been involved; he competed and lost against Akbar for the same congressional seat in 2007, and the two became bitter enemies.[1]
