Dismissing speculations that the peace process could suffer a setback with the delay in the submission to Congress of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) Teresita Deles said, “I know some people would like to take advantage of that and try to stir up some things, but I think the two parties are committed to try to explain this to everyone,”
At the send-off reception for the Philippine delegation to the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict hosted by the United Kingdom and Australia Tuesday night, June 5, Secretary Deles said that, “The reality is there is so much support for it. It just needs to be explained. The processes are not meant to delay or to weaken or diminish. As I’ve said, the fact that it has taken time should be seen as a reflection of how serious government is here,” she said.
"President Aquino will lead the campaign to get the Bangsamoro Basic Law passed.Earlier, Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda in a statement also assured the people and BTC Chair Mohagher Iqbal that the BBL is “not being watered-down” and “the measure is being fine-tuned” by the legal team of the Office of the President.
The draft basic law, submitted to the Office of the President on April 14 by the Bangsamoro Transition Commission, is still being evaluated and studied by the Palace legal team. It would replace the existing Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao with a new region called Bangsamoro with a ministerial form of government.
Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. said Malacañang is likely to submit the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law a few days after Congress resumes session on July 28.
“The feedback is that they’ve virtually completed their review of it and I’m not certain there’s anything to gain by having it submitted in the last few days (of the first regular session),” he told reporters.(Source: PhilStar, June 5, 2014)
