BBL’ won’t let IPs down’

The final Senate draft of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) will be embedded with provisions promoting the development of tribal communities that will be put under the jurisdiction of the autonomous Bangsamoro authority.

This assurance was made on Tuesday by Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr., telling the indigenous peoples (IPs), or indigenous cultural communities, that the BBL will safeguard their interests and “won’t let you down.”
