The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) of Kabacan, North Cotabato gathered thousands of Moro and Christian beneficiaries of Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program or 4P’s of the Municipality of Kabacan from October 8-15, 2018 at the Municipal Gym of Kabacan, North Cotabato.

DSWD personnel who are assigned in Kabacan facilitated and oversaw the activity were Meriam B. Casanguan, Rasmia K. Santuring, Florence Joy C. Acupinpin, Baiphati A. Luay, Judith A. Yap Gretchen A. Magallon and the Social Welfare Assistant Bai Queenie Tahir.

Part of the activity was a Forum on Understanding Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL). Kabacan is consist of 15 barangays but only registered voters of Sanggaddung, Nangaan and Pisan will vote during the plebiscite on January 21st next year.

Nasser Pulindao of the MILF Committee on Information lectured on BOL. He delved on the salient features of the organic law, the benefits that Moro communities can enjoy under the new region, and a brief history of the law.

He said that the former name of BOL was Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) that was crafted by the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) headed by MILF 1st Vice Chairman Ghazali Jaafar.

The first BTC during President Benigno Aquino’s administration was headed by MILF Peace Implementing Panel Chair Mohagher Iqbal, but he is also a member of the new commission, Pulindao told the participants.

When congress deliberated on the BBL, lawmakers and members of the BTC agreed to change the BBL into BOL. Eventually, congress passed the Organic Law for Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (OLBARMM) on July 27, 2018, and signed into law by President Rodrigo Duterte on August 6, 2018, he said.

The new political entity Bangsamoro will replace the current ARMM, and a plebiscite will be held early next year to determine which of the provinces, cities, municipalities, and barangays mentioned in the BOL will join the new region, Pulindao explained.

After the ratification of the BOL, the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) will assume the administration of the ARMM, thereafter the decommissioning of 30% of MILF combatants and weapons will take place, Pulindao further explained.

The Bangsamoro Parliament will be headed by MILF Chairman Al Haj Murad Ebrahim as interim Chief Minister. The parliament will be composed of 104 members that will include elected members of the Regional Legislative Assembly, and Regional Governor Mujiv S. Hataman, Pulindao added.

However, the RLA members and RG Hataman will only serve until the end of their terms on June 2019, Pulindao stressed.
