Muslim religious leaders in Central Mindanao believe the proposed BBL will create the ideal Bangsamoro autonomous region, laying down the foundation to neutralize violent extremism.

GPH peace panel chair Professor Miriam Coronel–Ferrer appealed once more to legislators to act on the draft Bangsamoro law, saying that the recent terrorist attack in Indonesia last week, shows the urgency of countering the influence of extremist groups among the local population.

MILF peace panel chair Mohagher Iqbal said that if the BBL is not passed, the peace process will continue, even beyond the Aquino administration, as they will continue to demand from government to implement the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro, which includes passing the BBL | MindaNews
