MARAWI City — Consultations on the proposed amendments to the Bangsamoro Basic Law that failed to pass in Congress during the past administration have started with a session held at the Mindanao State University main campus in this city recently.
The proposed amendments were presented by the members of the Committee on Justice and Security of the Bangsamoro Transition Commission headed by Chairman Atty. Ferdausi Ismael Y. Abbas.
Abbas said the proposed changes have done away with “blasphemous” provisions of the bill concerning the Shariah Courts and provisions that were deemed unconstitutional by the members of the past Congress.
Commissioner Samira A. Gutoc pointed out the Constitutionality of provisions, hierarchy of values of sources of Islam, Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) were among the considerations in determining the proposed amendments.
