Malacanang
said it is putting its sight in having a successful Bangsamoro juridical entity
during the President's term and is currently working hard to achieve it.
In
a radio interview on Saturday, Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte
was asked if failure is not an option on the part of government with regards to
Mindanao peace, she said the Palace isn't
entertaining skepticism and it's eyeing for success.
"If
you ask us, failure should not be on the horizon kasi hindi naman ito para sa
amin. This is not for the President personally but it’s for our brothers and
sisters in the Bangsamoro," Valte told dzRB Radyo ng Bayan in an
interview.
"Itutuloy
natin ang pagtulak para nito. Kasi alam mo naman ang Pangulo, ‘pag sinabi
niyang gusto niyang gawin, talagang he will put his weight on it, as the phrase
goes."
Peace
panels working on the agreed version of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL)
clarified that they are making “good progress” in their work and have already
completed over 70 percent of the draft bill. They said they are tackling the
“hard issues” left.
The
government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front peace panels expressed
disappointment over news reports that came out this week implying near collapse
of the discussion on the BBL.
The
BBL was supposed to have been submitted to Congress on May 5 but the MILF
objected to the result of revisions and comments made by the Malacañang review
team.
The
government said the proposed revisions were meant to ensure that the draft bill
would pass congressional scrutiny and that it would not violate the
Constitution.
The
Palace listed the BBL as among the priority measures it has sent to Congress
for deliberation.
President
Aquino made an assurance in his previous public statements that he would ensure
the conduct of a fair and democratic election in the Bangsamoro in 2016.
