MILF: President Aquino extends tenure of BTC

Posted to the MILF Website (Sep 1): President Aquino extends tenure of BTC

President Aquino extends tenure of BTC

President Benigno Aquino III issued Executive Order No. 187, on August 20, 2015, amending Executive Order No. 120, Series of 2012 that constituted the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC).

The BTC crafted the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) and the Malacañan-MILF agreed version was submitted to leaders of Congress in a ceremony at the Palace on September 10, 2014.

The issuance of the executive order “shall fill the gap in the intervening period between enactment and ratification to address the issues relevant to the BBL and to the Bangsamoro as a whole”. The issuance thus extended the tenure of the BTC, strengthens and expands further the functions of the Commission.

Under the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro and under Section 5 of the Executive Order (EO) No. 120 (s. 2012), the Bangsamoro Transition Commission shall cease to operate upon the enactment by Congress of the Bangsamoro Basic Law. The CAB also stipulates that the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) will be created only upon the promulgation and ratification of the BBL.

With the amendments of EO No. 120 through the issuance of EO No. 187, the BTC is tasked to prepare and draft a Code of Parliamentary Procedures for the Future Bangsamoro Parliament and a Bangsamoro Administrative Code for the consideration of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA).
