In a press statement, the group said that, “The Senate Bill 2879 undermines the unity, progress, and stability of the Bangsamoro people and raises serious concerns that cannot be ignored.”
The bill “violates” the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) and Republic Act 11054 or the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL), said the group in the statement.
Mahdie Almella, LBO spokesperson, said that Senate Bill No. 2879 “is divisive and disruptive and directly contravenes various agreements by undermining the unity and framework that bind the Bangsamoro people and the government in their collective pursuit of peace and progress,” a Mindanews report said Tuesday
“(The proposed) BaSulTa Autonomous Region fosters division among the Bangsamoro people. Instead of fostering unity and cooperation, it risks creating discord and unhealthy rivalry among different regions, groups, and sectors of the Moro population. It contradicts the fundamental principles of unity and inclusivity that underlie the BARMM,” he said.
“We call on Senator Padilla and all policymakers to engage in constructive dialogue with the Bangsamoro leaders and stakeholders, including representatives from BARMM and grassroots organizations,” the group said.
