In February 2013, she and the traditional leaders of royal houses in the southern Philippines were invited by the peace panel chair Miriam Coronel-Ferrer to provide their input on their roles in building peace in the future Bangsamoro region during the negotiations for the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro. There, the traditional leaders stressed the importance of preserving customary laws and enhancing their function as a reference for the administration of justice and promotion of peace and order in the Bangsamoro.

For her first electoral campaign, Mindalano-Adam released an 11-point platform that includes political reforms such as shifting to federalism, strengthening the campaigns against insurgency, illegal drugs and corruption, economic recovery; and increased protections for overseas Filipino workers, and human rights of Indigenous Peoples.
