The
government of the Philippines (GPH) and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front
(MILF) are determining issues in the political agreements that will be included
in the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) which the peace panels aim to submit to
Congress at the soonest possible time.
“That
is not a moving away or diluting political agreements that have already been
signed, but are issues about what should now be put in the law,” said
Presidential Adviser on Peace Process Teresita Deles in a media interview.
Deles
stressed the government and the MILF are working to find a fastest solution
acceptable to both parties.
She
said the peace panels do not want to renegotiate issues that have already been
agreed upon.
“The
problem is in the interpretation of how a political agreement is put into legal
form. Doon iyong maaaring may deperensiya sa
pagiintindi nito and I think that’s what’s very important in what happened
yesterday,” she added.
Deles
said President Benigno S. Aquino III indicated the need to submit the draft BBL
to Congress as early as possible.
For
her part, Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail Valte said the President
assured that he would push the BBL with conviction.
“As
such, kailangan pulido po ‘yung ating due diligence. Alam naman po natin that
once a draft is submitted to Congress, ise-certify po na urgent ng Pangulo
dahil meron nga po tayong timetable,” she said in a Palace press briefing on
Friday.
Valte
said the Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) has come up with the resolution
asking the peace panels to look at some of the issues that have been raised
between the legal team and the Commission on the draft law.
