Jolo, Zambo inputs valuable in correcting Moro law flaws

Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Friday said his decision to hold two-day, marathon hearings in Jolo (Sulu) and Zamboanga on the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law proved to be correct as it gave his panel valuable inputs that would help in crafting a version of the BBL acceptable to majority of stakeholders.

Marcos, chairman of the Senate Committee on Local Government, noted that the hearings brought out in the open sentiments and concerns of local residents and officials over the draft BBL not given much attention either in news reports or in congressional discussions of the proposed law.
