President Aquino reiterates call for passage of BBL

Posted on October 12, 2015

MANILA, Oct. 12 (PNA) — President Benigno S. Aquino III on Monday urged anew Congress to pass the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), one of the important proposed bills of his administration, which will end decades-old conflict in Mindanao.

“Pangunahin na po sa akin ang BBL, na ang tanging layunin ay makasabay sa ating paghakbang ang mga kababayan nating nasa Muslim Mindanao,” the President said in his speech during the introduction of the Daang Matuwid coalition.

President Aquino noted that passing the Bangsamoro law is imperative for Mindanao and the Philippines.

“Isipin ninyo na lang: ‘Pag di naipasa ang BBL, ipagpapatuloy lang natin ang siklo ng hidwaan; tuloy lang na malulugmok ang mga kapatid natin sa gulo at kahirapan; at patutunayan lang natin ang mga pagkukulang ng ARMM (Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao), kung saan kahit isa lang ang maling mailagay sa puwesto ay apektado na ang kinabukasan ng lahat,” he said.

The Chief Executive further said the proposed law will provide opportunity for each voice to be heard.

Under the BBL, President Aquino added the desires of leaders are conveyed through their representatives.

“Malayong-malayo ito sa kinagisnan nating sitwasyon kung saan may warlord na nagdidikta sa kapalaran ng nakakarami, samantalang pinagtutuunan lang niya ng pansin ang pag-unlad ng kanyang angkan o tribo,” the President said.

“Sa BBL, sa simula’t simula, ang punto ay asikasuhin ang lahat. Ang mga nasasakupan naman, may pantay na karapatan at sariling boses,” he said. (PNA)
