IT ISN’T clear whether President B. S. Aquino 3rd’s statement that the “House panel” would pass the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law, regardless of any opposition to it, is the decisive word on it. But it has set many things in motion, in relation to the measure, whose proponents would like to call a law, BBL (Babala) instead of merely a bill, BBB (Bababa), which is what it is.

First of all, while PNoy was in North America telling wonder-struck Filipinos how he would like to become an auto mechanic after he leaves Malacañang, the social media reported some congressmen coming into so much BBB-related “bread” while vacationing in Switzerland.
