MILF: Pass Bangsamoro law or face complications

Amid the uproar over the clashes in Maguindanao that killed 44 policemen, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) is calling for the passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), saying any hesitation could create “complications.”

The MILF said the BBL, which seeks to form a Bangsamoro region with enhanced autonomy, was intended to address a problem that has been around “for decades or even centuries.”

“Proceeding and passing the Bangsamoro Basic Law is the only option open to all of us now. Any hesitancy breeds more complications,” MILF said in an editorial posted on its website luwaran.com. It did not elaborate on what the “complications” might be.
