MILF: Mindanao Civil Society Organization Platform for Peace conducts consultation on BBL

From the MILF Website (May 20): Mindanao Civil Society Organization Platform for Peace conducts consultation on BBL



The Mindanao Civil Society Organization Platform for Peace (MCSOPP) and the Consortium of Bangsamoro Civil Society (CBCS) –Sulu conducted consultation on the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) on May 17, 2014 at the Sulu Area Coordinating Center, Sumadja Hall, Capitol Site, Jolo, Sulu where approximately 100 people from government line agencies, local government officials and employees, members of the academe and religious groups, youth and MILF representatives attended.
  
The program started with an invocation or “du’a” by Tuan Frazier J. Kalayakan and the overview by Prof. Sahie S. Udjah, CBCS Sulu Coordinator.  An inspirational message was delivered by Hon. Abdusakur M. Tan, Vice Governor of Sulu.

Commissioners Asani S. Tammang and Hon. Hussien Munoz of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) were the invited resource persons who discussed about the draft basic law and its importance to the Bangsamoro. The BBL, once passed and enacted into law by Philippine Congress becomes the enabling act for the creation of the Bangsamoro Region.

The draft BBL was already submitted by the BTC to the Office of the President in Manila for review and certification as urgent measure. It will then be submitted to congress for deliberation and passage.

Before the end of the program, a resolution was passed and signed by the participants urging the Office of the President and the Philippine Congress for the speedy enactment and passage of the proposed measure.
