Govt sees BBL passage before election break

PROPONENTS of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) have declared that they will not give up on the measure despite challenges it faces in Congress, hoping that it could be passed on January 27 or anytime before lawmakers go on their election break.

In a statement released on Friday by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP), Al Julkipli, a member of the government panel’s legal team, said the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) remain resolute in pursuing the Bangsamoro peace process.
