President Aquino to certify BBL as urgent once approved by House of Representatives


President Benigno Aquino will certify as urgent the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) once the House of Representatives approves the measure, Cagayan de Oro Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, chair of the 75-member  Ad Hoc Committee  on BBL said yesterday, April 27.

 “The President has promised that once we’ve already approved the BBL, the draft of the committee will be certified by him as urgent,” Rodriguez also said.

The committee will wrap up its hearings this week and schedule the voting on the BBL – section by section – on May 11 and 12.

The working deadline for both the House and Senate to pass their versions of the BBL is on June 11, or before Congress adjourns, Rodriguez said.

He added that Aquino is also ready to formally ask Congress to hold a special session in case lawmakers would be unable to meet the deadline.

“So it should be ‘pass your papers’ on June 11, so that by June 30, the agreement of both Houses will be fulfilled and the President will be able to sign (BBL into law),” he said.
