A Moro youth group based in Lanao del Sur reasserts the retention of exclusive power of the proposed Bangsamoro government as stipulated in the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) for the protection and management of inland bodies of water like Lake Lanao.
Drieza Lininding of Bangsamoro of National Movement for Peace and Development (BMNPD) said, “We want to have an Exclusive power on Inland waters that includes Lake Lanao purposely for Protection and Management of our beloved Lake.”
In his facebook account posting, Lininding again aired their advocacy in reaction to Senator Marcos’ plan to delete the provision in the proposed Bangsamoro law that would give the Bangsamoro government control and supervision over Lake Lanao despite the group’s thrice appearance to BBL hearing at the Senate to discuss the issues surrounding Lake Lanao.
In a news item at Manila Bulletin, it said that the Senate Committee on Local Government (chaired by Senator Bongbong Marcos) is poised to delete a provision in the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) that would give the Bangsamoro government control and supervision over Lake Lanao as this could affect energy security in Mindanao and the entire country as well.
“Lake Lanao is a critical water resource for the entire Mindanao that provides over 50 percent of the energy supply of Mindanao generated from six power plants on the lake’s outlet, Agus River,” Marcos said.
“Thrice I was invited to speak in his committee and thought I explained to him (Marcos) very well the issues surrounding Lake Lanao at least from our perspective, his recent statement showed his ignorance on the draft BBL submitted to Senate,” Lininding said.
He added, “Even the BBL clearly provides in Article 5, section 3 on exclusive powers that when it comes to power generations connected to national transmission grid, the National Government and Bangsamoro shall coordinate and cooperate through the Inter-Governmental Body to be set up.”
Lininding said, “The Bangsamoro government clearly has no control or supervision over the Agus Complex utilizing Lake Lanao contrary to his claim.”
The advocate group chair pointed out, “But we want to have an exclusive power on inland waters that includes Lake Lanao purposely for protection and management of our beloved Lake.”
.....“For decades, control and management of Lake Lanao was under National Power Corporation and national ngencies based in Manila and Cagayan De Oro City, but look what have they done for Lake Lanao? According to experts in 50 years the lake may dry up if this present utilization of Lake Lanao continues.”
Wikipedia stated that Lake Lanao is home to 18 endemic species of cyprinid fish and 42 endemic freshwater crabs.
The lake has an area of 350-square kilometre. It lies between Lanao del Sur and Marawi City.
The government had built six hydroelectricity dams along the lake’s only outlet–Agus River.
