In a report by Philstar on October 12, it said that President Benigno Aquino III had asked ARMM Regional Governor Mujiv S. Hataman to run for re-election but have to make sacrifice once the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) is passed by congress in December.
Hataman said the president has asked him to file his certificate of candidacy (COC) for reelection, while telling him to be ready to step down once the BBL is passed to allow room for transition, the report also said.
President Aquino cleared to Hataman that the “BBL is not dead”, and “I will push for its enactment”, the regional governor quoted the president, in a gathering at Basilan.
On Sunday, October 11, Hataman officially declared his reelection bid during the 1st Basilan People's Assembly at Isabela City attended by various sectors where he united all incumbent leaders to run under one administration ticket.
Hataman said the president told him about the plan Thursday during their meeting in Manila.
He said the president doubted that if another candidate would run for the gubernatorial post in ARMM, it would be difficult for the administration to convince him to step down citing possible legal matters.
"There is no problem for me because that's how tight our advocacy to pass the BBL measure was," Hataman said.
Hataman said he visited the MILF and informed the group of the president's plan for him to file.
"I visited and talked to them (MILF), explaining about the plan baka ma-misunderstood n'yo na mag-file ako ng kandidatura. This doesn't mean the BBL is dead," Hataman said. "This is a sacrifice for me because once BBL is passed and ratified by January, I may not be a candidate."
He said the MILF leadership was confident of Aquino's sincerity in passing the BBL and expressed understanding of the political dynamics involved.(Source: Philstar)
