Two committees of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) held separate sessions with knowledgeable persons in the fields of Shariah and taxation inorder to solicit policy recommendations that may be of value in the crafting of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL).
On December 5, the Committee on Justice and Security spent the whole day with Philippine Shariah Court judges and ulama who finished courses in Shariah in the Middle East.
Held at the Alnor convention hall, the morning session was graced by Shariah District Judges Montano Kalimpo, Zailon Wahab and Datukaka Kamsa. In the afternoon, the resource persons included Asatidz Abdulmauti Esmael, Abusama Alabat, Muhammad Dama, Abdulwahab Pairat, Muhiddin Abdulrahman Muhammad and Guinaid Paduman.
Topics which dominated the discussions included compatibility, sources and conflict of laws; organization and jurisdiction of courts; intergroup litigation; penal system and PD 1083 or the Code on Muslim Personal Laws of the Philippines.
The Committee on Justice and Security is chaired by Commissioner Hussein Munoz. The session was conducted with the assistance of JICA which was represented in the opening program by its Chief Advisor Shinichi Masuda.
On December 6, the Committee on Fiscal Autonomy had its session with experts on taxes, fees and charges. ARMM Regional Board of Investments Executive Director Moner Dumama and Mr. Gani Petron of the ARMM Office of the Regional Treasurer served as resource persons. Unfortunately due to prior commitments, Manila-based tax experts and local government tax officials did not make it to the session.
Nonetheless, the session proved very informational as the experts clearly explained the structural flaws in the financial operations of the present ARMM especially in the collection and remittance of taxes, fees and charges in the region, and the receipt of its share from the national government. The two ARMM officials promised to submit written recommendations to the committee which is chaired by Commissioner Raissa Jajurie.
FASTRAC, or the Facility for Advisory Support for Transition Capacities, a joint facility of the United Nations and World Bank, assisted in the holding of the said session.
