President Benigno S. Aquino III has expressed
his readiness to discuss the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) with the
senators.
“Kung gusto nila akong kausapin tungkol dito sa BBL, hindi naman ako nanghihimasok, inimbita nila akong magbigay ng opinyon sa isang pagpupulong, bakit hindi natin gawin iyon? Handang-handa tayo doon,” President Aquino said on Monday.
President Aquino said this meeting would depend on Senate President Franklin Drilon.
The Bangsamoro Basic Law, a top priority of the Aquino administration, was approved by the House of Representatives’ ad hoc committee last week.
The bill, which will create a new political entity to replace the existing Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, was passed after the President met with the lawmakers.
When asked to comment on the Senate committee report submitted by Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago last week noting that the BBL would require Charter change, the President replied that “that is an opinion at this point in time”.
He also stressed that the BBL “will withstand the test of constitutionality.”
"Natandaan niyo may ad na lumabas itong mga ConCom (Constitutional Commission) members who crafted the Constitution. Maraming beses kapag nagtatalo ang mga abugado, basahin niyo ang libro tungkol sa debate ng ConCom. Dito, hindi na kailangan basahin ang libro dahil 'yung mga buhay pa na miyembro ng ConCom mismo na ang nagsasabi at ipinaliwanag ang constitutionality ng BBL,” the President explained.
"Naintindihan natin maraming pagkakataon para makatawag ng pansin lalo na't ang napipintong eleksyon ay darating na sa susunod na taon. Pero isang mahinahon na diskusyunan at pakikipag-uganayan, pagsuri nila dito sa BBL, palagay ko makikita nilang it will withstand the test of constitutionality,” he said. (PCOO News Release)
