President Benigno S. Aquino III is still reviewing the draft of the Bangsamoro Basic Law that was submitted to him last week, a Palace official said Tuesday.
"Patuloy na pinag-aaralan ng Pangulo ang inihaing draft Bangsamoro Basic Law," said Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. in a press briefing in Malacañang.
"Ang susunod na hakbang ay ang agarang paghain nito sa Kogreso bilang urgent legislative measure. Merong sense of urgency dito, dahil sa nailatag na timetable ng Bangsamoro peace process," he added.
According to Coloma, Presidential peace adviser Teresita Deles said both the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) peace panels have already agreed on significant issues, and that is why they decided to forward the draft to the President.
The draft Bangsamoro Basic Law was submitted to President Aquino on Wednesday evening.
Once the draft law is approved by Congress, a plebiscite will be held and a transition authority will be created in preparation for the conduct of an election in the Bangsamoro in 2016.
President Aquino has vowed to push for the conduct of a fair and democratic poll in the region before he leaves office in 2016.
