Bangsamoro pact does not bind Congress – Marcos

SENATOR Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Wednesday maintained that while the draft Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) seeks to implement the peace pact between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the government, it only binds the executive department and not Congress.

Marcos, in a forum on BBL held at the San Sebastian College in Manila City, explained that Congress could pass the original draft of the BBL without revisions because it will only be declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court (SC).
