“We find it unfortunate that the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) was not ratified before the adjournment of today’s session of the House of Representatives,” sabi ni Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
Nauna nang tiniyak ni Roque na pipirmahan bilang ganap na batas ni Duterte ang BOL bago pa man ang kanyang nakatakdang SONA matapos namang matapos itong lumusot sa bicameral conference committee.
“We consider this as a temporary setback in the administration’s goal of laying the foundation for a more genuine and lasting peace in Mindanao. We, however, remain confident that President Rodrigo Roa Duterte will sign the Bangsamoro Organic Law as soon as both houses of Congress finally ratify the bill,” dagdag ni Roque.
Sa kabila ng kabiguan ng Kamara, naratipikahan na ang BOL ng Senado.
