MILF open to BBL amendments – Iqbal

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) is open to changes to the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) as long as the amendments will improve the measure, according to MILF Chairperson Mohaqher Iqbal.

“Our position has been very clear: We want Congress to support the draft BBL faithful to the letter of the framework agreement. But the MILF welcomes any changes, if it will improve or enhance the BBL,” Iqbal said during the resumption of the Congressional discussions on the proposed BBL by the House of Representatives’ Ad Hoc Committee on the Bangsamoro.
