SENATOR GUINGONA STATEMENT IN SUPPORT
OF BANGSAMORO BASIC LAW

We fully support the President's call to pass the Bangsamoro Basic Law in the 16th Congress.

As a representative of the people from the Mindanao region, I would be remiss in my duties if I did not do my part in making lasting peace a reality for our fellow Filipinos in the South.

For decades, lasting peace seemed unattainable. Yet we are here now closer than we have ever been before in rehabilitating Mindanao from the ravages of war. Filipinos have cause to be truly hopeful as both the government and the MILF work tirelessly to come up with an inclusive and participative framework that will truly benefit the people of Mindanao.

The time to make peace a reality is now, and we will start by passing the Bangsamoro Basic Law in the 16th Congress.
