The 114th Base Command of the Bangsamoro Islamic Armed Forces of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (BIAF) held one-day forum on Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) on November 28, 2014 at Barangay Baas, Lamitan City Basilan for professionals and barangay officials. The activity was spearheaded by Rajan Abdurahman, Unit commander of the 114th Base Command.
The resource speakers were Abbas Salung, Chairman of MILF-CCCH, Ungkung Ampao, BIAF Planning Officer, and Mr. Suaib Musa.
Haji Salih, a participant said, “This activity is very important because most of us registered voters are not aware of the contents of BBL and the plebiscite for the ratification of the BBL will soon take place”.
Mr. Salung spoke on Normalization. He said that “Normalization is very crucial for the MILF because it involves decommissioning of firearms; very hard to do because guns are part of Moro culture since time immemorial to protect and defend themselves against those that will provoke or hurt them and their families”. “It is also very important as deterrent to criminalities in our localities”.
One of the questions asked by Haji Musa Abubakar, a Medical Technologist from City of Lamitan goes like this, “What would be the guarantee that the plebiscite would be fair and impartial, no coercion especially from the powerful politicians as per our experience in this province?
Mr. Ampao answered, “In shaa Allah it will not happen as local and international election monitors would be present during the plebiscite and oversee the conduct of the plebiscite”. “It is also one’s duty and responsibility to protect his/her vote as the outcome of the plebiscite is for the general welfare of today’s generation and the generations to come”.
The activity ended at 330PM.
