April 23-30, 2014:: After long, harsh, and hard months of deliberating the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) has finally settled the final text and adopted it last April 20.
Fourteen commissioners signed it (13 during the ceremony and one later when it was about to be presented to the Office of the President (OP) on April 22). Two commissioners (Fatmawati Salapuddin and Johaira Wahab) were absent during the signing ceremony and did not sign it. However, Commissioner Fatmawati Salapuddin managed to affix her signature before the BBL reached the Palace, leaving only Commissioner Johaira Wahab as non-signatory to the BBL.
Thank you commissioners! Collectively, you all have done a splendid job. ou made history and we are proud of you. For those who signed the BBL without qualifications, you have demonstrated your great faith in the purpose, content, and the process of the commission. For those, who signed with qualifications, the future will bare your real thought, which we believe is noble. For the one who did not sign it, despite all efforts to let her sign, she has a lot of explanations to do. People will either appreciate her or curse her.
In fairness, all the commissioners participated in the deliberations but at least five deserved special mentions: Commissioners Akmad Saccam, Asani Tammang, Raissa Jajurie, Hussein Munoz, and Roberto “Maulana” Alonto.
They have provided strong and steady support to the overall effort to craft the BBL. The other commissioners also played their pieces well but oftentimes in contrasting styles. None, even the wildest view, is to be considered as an effort in vain. They all contributed in the excitement in the undertaking and in enriching the proposed BBL.
Commissioners, the task of the BTC is not yet over. More and more tasks are in the offing. There will be a constructive engagement with the Office of the President (OP) which will start immediately. Thereafter, the BTC will serve as the little partner of the OP in the forthcoming engagement with Congress. This is the reason that this engagement with the OP must result in full agreement, so that our forthcoming rendezvous with Congress will anchor on solid ground and thrust.
Commissioners, we appeal to you to stay together and face the future with hope and determination. Rest assured that as long as we stand for the collective interests of the Bangsamoro (without saying also of the other inhabitants therein), there is nothing to fear. The future belongs to the consistent, steadfast, and dedicated. The Bible says, “blessed are the peacemakers.”
