MILF: Simultaneous Rallies call for Passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law without Diminution

Posted to the MILF Website (May 5): Simultaneous Rallies call for Passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law without Diminution



Yesterday May 4, 2014 is a day of simultaneous rallies in Mindanao by the Bangsamoro people and other people of the island urging the Congress of the Philippines to pass the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) without diminution.
  
The rallies are spearheaded by the Mindanao Alliance for Peace (MAP) under its President, Dr. Abdulmanan Gayak. In Pikit, North Cotabato alone, there is mammoth crowd recorded at more than thirty thousand people attended the gathering. But many did not registered their names.

The Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) is a draft organic law by the 15-man commissioners appointed by the President of the Philippines. Eight of them were recommended by the Central Committee of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). Their main task was the crafting of the aforesaid basic law which was done. It was submitted to the Office of the President of the Philippines so that it may catch up the forthcoming session of Congress on May 5, 2014 and be one of its foremost agenda.

The Bangsamoro people comprising the Muslims and the non-Muslim native inhabitants of Mindanao, and other people of the island demonstrated their sentiments to the Philippine Congress on this eve of their session.

Enactment of the law is a sign of sincerity on the part of the Government of the Philippines to deliver the content of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) to the Bangsamoro People. It is a proof of its faithful compliance to the letter and spirit of the agreement it had signed.

Speakers led by Radioman Amay Samrod and North Cotabato Board Member Mohammad “Kelly” Antao shared the same sentiments in their speeches.
