Pass BBL before Aquino’s term ends, Palace insists

Malacañang on Tuesday insisted that the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) should be passed within President Benigno Aquino 3rd’s term, rejecting calls to leave the job to the next administration.

Presidential Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said the Aquino Administration will not give up in pushing for the passage of the BBL despite statements from other officials that it should be left to the President’s successor.
