Tulay KaMi urged Congress for more liberality in interpreting BBL
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY—Tulay Kalinaw Mindanaw (Tulay KaMi or Bridge of Peace in Mindanaw) leaders and other civil society organizations (CSOs) in Mindanao are urging congressmen, especially Rep. Rufus Rodriguez, to extend more liberality in interpreting the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) and not be shackled by legalities.
This is after Rodriguez, chairman of the Adhoc Committee on the BBL, said that eight out of the 250 provisions in the BBL should be deleted because these are unconstitutional.
“We will remove these provisions so as to strengthen the BBL so that when it is questioned before the Supreme Court, it will not be declared unconstitutional like what happened with the MOA-AD in 2008,” he said.Read More »Tulay KaMi urged Congress for more liberality in interpreting BBL
