Palace fully supports BBL amid Maguindanao mis-encounter



Malacanang has expressed its continued support for the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) despite Sunday’s mis-encounter between the country’s police force and armed groups in Mamasapano, Maguindanao.

Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Herminio Coloma said the government is fully determined to complete the peace process in Mindanao.

“Ang pananaw ng pamahalaan ay hindi nagbabago. Mahalaga ang peace process sa Mindanao, mahalaga ang pagpasa ng Bangsamoro Basic Law at patuloy pa ring itinataguyod ang prosesong pangkapayaan,” he said.

As of Monday (Jan. 26), 43 bodies were recovered following the bloody encounter between the police’s Special Action Force (SAF) and members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).

Eleven other SAF members were recovered and wounded. (PNA)
