Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr. yesterday called on Malacañang to stop rushing the passage of the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) after finding out how complicated and complex this noble and vital measure is.
“The more we study it (BBL), the more complicated it turns out. And that is the nature of what we are trying to do. And we do not shirk from the responsibility of taking us through the details, the historical perspectives, and the different agreements that have been arrived at in many, many years of negotiation after the fighting,” Marcos said.
“But we need the time to do it properly. So I think it’s time to stop talking about deadlines. It is time to stop talking about rushing the legislative process on something so complicated, so complex, so noble, and so important,” he stressed.
