To help the people of North Cotabato
understand the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), the provincial government is
hosting a forum Tuesday at the provincial capitol here.
Dubbed as provincial information, education and
communication on the BBL, the forum will be at the rooftop of the provincial
capitol building in Barangay Amas, Kidapawan
City
Members of the government and Moro Islamic Liberation Front
peace panels as well as representatives from the Office of the Presidential
Adviser on the Peace Process will be around to explain the draft BBL and
entertain questions and inquiry about the proposed bill that will help bring
about peace in Mindanao .
North Cotabato Gov. Emmylou Mendoza said the draft BBL has
noble intention-- that is to bring peace in troubled Mindanao
region.
However, there are issues that need to be clarified and
explained fully, thus the forum is the best venue to air these issues, she
added.
She said the forum will be the best venue for local
officials of villages which will form part of the Bangsamoro core territory.
She added the issue on human rights, economy and the kind of
peace that will take place once the new political entity comes in should be
clarified.
The BBL will be the enabling law that will be the legal
basis of a new political entity that will replace the current Autonomous Region
in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
It is a result of the 17-year-long peace process between the
government and the MILF aimed at giving the Bangsamoro people the right to
self-determination.
