MILF rejects watered-down BBL, believes Congress is running out of time for bill

From the Philippine Daily Inquirer (Dec 30): MILF rejects watered-down BBL, believes Congress is running out of time for bill

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) would rather sound upbeat on the passage of the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law but has admitted Congress is running out of time to do it.

Murad Ebrahim, MILF chair, said during the recently concluded 3rd Annual Assembly of the Bangsamoro Communication Network here that “if BBL will not make it by February, it would be impossible for the bill’s passage in the next months.”

He cited the election campaign season, which would certainly prevent a quorum in both houses of Congress.
