Senate panel to ask for briefing on Bangsa law

THE Senate committee that will deliberate the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) wants to be briefed first by the negotiating panels that crafted the measure.

The panel on local government wants a thorough background on the draft law from the peace panelists of the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) before it holds public hearings, Sen. Ferdinand Marcos, committee chairman, said on Friday.
