ILANG araw bago ang plebisito para sa Bangsamoro Organic Law, nanawagan si Pangulong Duterte na bumoto ng ‘yes’ para rito.
“Let us forget the bitterness of the past and look to the future. Ladies and gentlemen, mga mahal kong Moro brothers or sisters, magboto kayo ng ‘yes,’” sabi ni Duterte sa kanyang talumpati sa pro-BOL peace assembly sa Cotabato City.
“‘Pag hindi, hindi na ako punta dito kailanman,” pabirong sabi pa ni Duterte.
Nakatakdang isagawa ang plebisito sa Enero 21, na susundan sa Pebrero 6.
Kabilang sa mga lugar na sakop ng plebisito ay ang Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), Cotabato City, at Isabela City sa Basilan.
“The Mindanaoans’ approval of the law “will not only serve as an expression of your desire to end more than half a century of armed struggle in the region, but will also serve as a testament to your determination to bring genuine peace and development in Muslim Mindanao to an autonomous government that truly represents and understands the needs of the Muslim people,” ayon pa kay Duterte.
“Together, let us take this opportunity to begin the process of healing, reconciliation, so that one day we can embrace each other as brother and sister,” dagdag ni Duterte.
