Aquino upset with generals opposing Bangsamoro bill

PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino 3rd on Monday expressed disappointment over a paid advertisement purportedly signed by retired generals, some of whom are close to him, that rejected the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) as the tool that could end conflict in Mindanao.

In an interview, Aquino said he read the advertisement that gave him “a number of thoughts.” He said he is willing to sit down and talk with the retired officers to clarify their opposing views.
