ABS-CBN News Channel (ANC) is set to put the Bangsamoro peace process and the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) in the spotlight as it hosts “Peace and Justice: A Beyond Politics Special on the BBL” which will be aired live on September 1 at 7:00 to 8:00 pm, a report posted on the website of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) on August 30 said.
Anchored by veteran journalist Lynda Jumilla, the hour-long forum will discuss the current status of the BBL in both chambers of Congress and what steps the government and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) peace panels are taking to ensure the peace while deliberations on the proposed bill are ongoing. It will likewise touch on the public and local sentiments about the BBL, and the way forward for the landmark measure.
Present during the forum will be Prof. Miriam Coronel-Ferrer, the government’s chief negotiator; Prof. Abhoud Syed Lingga, Executive Director of the Institute of Bangsamoro Studies (IBS) and member of the MILF Peace panel as well as Mindanao civil society leader Gus Miclat.
Also invited are the chief movers of the BBL in both chambers, Cagayan de Oro City Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, Chair of the House Ad Hoc Committee on the Bangsamoro, and Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., Chair of the Senate Committee on Local Government. Present in the audience will be members of civil society organizations, members of the security sector, and other stakeholders of the peace process.
Both committees have drafted their respective substitute bills—House Bill 5811 or the Basic Law of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, and Senate Bill 2894 or the Basic Law for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region. Differences between the bills—the Senate substitute bill, the House substitute bill, and the original draft BBL prepared and submitted by the BTC and the Office of the President—are also expected to be tackled during the forum.
Ferrer enjoined the public to watch and participate in the forum, saying “it will be a good opportunity for the broader public to be educated more and share their sentiments about the peace process and the BBL.”
The public can ask questions during the forum by following the official twitter account of ANC (@ANCNewsAlerts) and using the hashtag #BeyondBBL.
