Govt, MILF vow to sort differences on draft law

While the four-day special meeting between the peace panels of the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) failed to result in a breakthrough in the drafting of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), the parties have vowed to continue working on measures to sort out their differences.

“They (the peace panels) achieved modest progress and identified consensus language in the light of signed agreements. They resolve to continue working together to come up with a mutually acceptable draft Bangsamoro Basic Law,” the panels said in a joint press statement released after the meeting.
