MANILA \u2013 Bangsamoro Transition Commission (BTC) chairman Mohagher Iqbal sent a formal letter to the House of Representatives, asking that the 28 removed provisions be restored and the \u2018original\u2019 Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) be passed instead of the \u2018draft\u2019 BBL.<\/p>\n

In his letter addressed to Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr.<\/p>\n

, Iqbal provided a copy of the Resolution 005 series of 2015 supporting the passage of the BBL \u2018in its original form\u2019 as it was the \u2018most appropriate version.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BTC implores the better judgment of the leadership of both houses of Congress to pass the BBL in its original form and to henceforth act according to the terms of the peace agreements,\u201d the resolution read.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BTC stands firm that the proposed BBL in its original form is the most appropriate version based on the FAB (Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro) and CAB (Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro), and considering that it is the one that underwent the legitimate process of consultation with the people and engagement with the Office of the President,\u201d it continued.<\/p>\n

The House has been scheduled to resume deliberations on the BBL next week. It has also aimed to approve the bill before September, in time for the discussions of the 2016 national budget.<\/p>\n

However, Cagayan de Oro Representative Rufus Rodriguez admitted that it was unlikely for the House to act on the BTC\u2019s request because the 28 deleted provisions were unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Two of the controversial provisions were allowing cities and provinces to join the Bangsamoro region upon petitions with only 10 percent votes from residents and giving the Bangsamoro government control over internal security, including its own military.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Senator Ferdinand \u201cBongbong\u201d Marcos Jr. clarified that one of the reasons why the passing of the BBL has taken so long was because the decommissioning of MILF had been the subject of debates.<\/p>\n

Government peace panel legal team member Sittie Amirah Pendatun, on the other hand, asserted that the decommissioning of the MILF need not be included in the proposed BBL as they knew so well that the Philippine Constitution only allowed one subject per bill.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have explained many times before that decommissioning as well as the broader normalization process need not be in the BBL,\u201d Pendatun said in a Philippine Star report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe BBL is really about the establishment of an autonomous region. It\u2019s about the creation of a political entity which seeks to establish an inclusive system of governance for a multicultural segment of the Philippine population, and not about the MILF per se,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The BBL, which was written in 2013, sought to form an autonomous region in Mindanao.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
