Stop pushing BBL, former House leader urges MILF

COTABATO CITY: Former House Deputy Speaker for Mindanao Gerry Ajul Salapuddin on Tuesday advised the hierarchy of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) to temporarily stop pushing for the passage of the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) at the House of Representatives.

“If I were part of the MILF leadership, I would give this unsolicited advice: Disengage temporarily from pushing the BBL. Just leave it to the Aquino government to do what it can to salvage the BBL because he is responsible for what is happening now,” Salapuddin, a former top commander of the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF), said.
