The Ad Hoc Committee on Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) conducted held consultation on House Bill No. 4994 at the Executive Function Hall of Pagadian City capitol building.
The public hearing was presided over by Ad Hoc Committee chairman Rep. Rufus Rodriguez of Cagayan De Oro. With his group were representatives from Zamboanga Del Norte, Tawi-Tawi, a partylist representative, and others.
GPH Peace Panel Chair Prof. Miriam Coronel-Ferrer, Atty. Leo Lorena of Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) and Atty. Lanang T. Ali Jr. of Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) were the resource persons.
Majority of the participants in the public hearing were from the local government units (LGUs). Those that were not in the list were not allowed to attend the public hearing.
The local government unit of Pagadian City is not part of the Bangsamoro core territory and is lukewarm on BBL. Some participants raised the following questions on:
1. Why do we need Bangsamoro government when it will only divide the Filipino people?
2. Why do we have to create a government within the government?
3. How are we assured that the MILF surrender their firearms to the government?
4. If the MILF party does not win in the election, will they not engage in rebellion again?
5. Why is Bangsamoro authorized to have their flag, anthem, and seal?
6. What will happen to MILF combatants who are not professionals, will they be integrated in the Bangsamoro Police?
The participants who support the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) were not be given a chance to join in the discussions and air their statements to the Ad Hoc Committee on BBL.
