From Politiko Mindanao (Nov 1): Duterte wants Bangsamoro Law plebiscite to succeed before dealing with Misuari
President Rodrigo Duterte wants the proposed Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) to be ratified by the Bangsamoro people before he negotiates again with Moro National Liberation Front founding chairman Nur Misuari.
In a speech in Cagayan De Oro City Wednesday (October 31), Duterte reiterated his desire to forge peace with Moros.
“I hope the plebiscite would push through and the — for the yes votes to win so that I can deal again with the… And then Misuari, we will talk but we will no longer join that. When the time comes, let us talk,” he said.
“So I pray that the BOL will push through. Inshallah. And after that I will deal with Misuari,” Duterte added.
The BOL will grant greater political power and autonomy to the people of the area currently known as the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
The MNLF, however, is against the law and wants the government to follow instead the 1996 peace agreement that led to ARMM’s creation.
