PNoy, defend LBM aka BBL at the Senate!

IF President BS Aquino The Last is really serious about breaking protocol and talk with senators about the Law on the Bangsa Moro (LBM), also known as Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), then he should be willing to make the Senate the venue of the discussion, not Malacañang.

He seems confident that he can succeed where his peace advisors and legal counsel have lagged in selling the LBM to the senators. If he’ll do the convincing of the Doubting Thomases in Malacañang, there’ll be talks of bribery, especially if he’ll have Budget Secretary Butch Abad by his side during the meeting. Tongues will wag that it was the “pork” that did the talking, not the merits of the LBM.
