Following Sen. Miriam Santiago’s statement that there may be consequences to the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB), Malacanang on Saturday reiterated its desire to engage the senator in discussions with the Government Peace Panel Chair Miriam Colonel-Ferrer.
Sen. Santiago earlier said the peace pact was unconstitutional because it turns the Bangsamoro as a substate instead of a mere autonomous region, however clarified that she was not out to “scuttle” the CAB the senator.
Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte in an interview on state-run dzRB Radyo ng Bayan said that the “government is always open to explain the contents of the agreement.”
“Kahit nung framework agreement pa lang nag-ikot po ang angating panel sa mga civil society organizations, members of academe, members of legislators para ipakita ang nilalalaman,” Valte said.
(“Even when we only had the framework agreement at that time, our panel visited civil society organizations, members of academe, members of to show them its contents,” Valte said.)
“Hopefully, matuloy ang pag-uusap (nilang dalawa),” she added.
(“Hopefully, discussions between Sen. Santiago and Chair Ferrer push through,” she added.)
Valte meanwhile said that even if the Bangsamoro Basic Law undergoes challenges at the Supreme Court, the government has full hopes that the law’s constitutionality will be upheld.
