SA hangarin tiyakin ang legalidad ng Bangsamoro Organic Law, iminungkahi ng isang kongresista ang pagdaraos sa Setyembre 28 ng kauna-unahang parliamentary election sa Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
Sa inihaing House Bill 7236, partikular na isinusulong ni Lanao del Sur 1st District Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong amyendahan ang Republic Act No. 11054 (Bangsamoro Organic Law) para punan ang “legal gap” bunsod ng ipinalabas na desisyon ng Korte Suprema.
Batay sa desisyon ng Korte Suprema, ibinasura ang naunang redistricting laws, gayundin ang Bangsamoro Autonomy Act (58 at 77) at pagtanggal ng lalawigan ng Sulu sa BARMM.
“By addressing this statutory gap, the bill ensures that the first BARMM parliamentary elections can proceed in a peaceful, orderly, and fully lawful manner, in full compliance with the Constitution, the Bangsamoro Organic Law, and prevailing jurisprudence,” wika ng chairman ng House Committee on Suffrage and Electoral Reforms.
Nagpaabot naman ng lubos na pasasalamat ang Lanao del Sur lawmaker sa Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) Parliament sa pag-apruba sa Parliament Bill No. 415, o ang Bangsamoro Parliamentary Districts Act of 2025, na pagtatatag sa 32 single-member parliamentary districts sa BARMM.
“I extend my heartfelt thanks to the Bangsamoro Parliament for their diligent work and commitment in passing this important districting law. Their timely action provides the necessary legal foundation for fair representation and ensures that the upcoming elections can be conducted peacefully and in accordance with the law,” ani Adiong.
“The allocation of 32 districts—nine in Lanao del Sur, five each in Maguindanao del Norte and Maguindanao del Sur, four each in Basilan and Tawi-Tawi, three in Cotabato City, and two in the Special Geographic Area—will help guarantee that every voice in the Bangsamoro is heard in a truly inclusive Parliament.”
Tiwala naman si Adiong na malaking papel ang gagampanan ng HB 7236, na binalangkas kasama si Lanao del Sur 2nd Dist. Rep. Yasser Alonto Balindong, para pagtibayin ang integridad ng Bangsamoro peace process at matupad ang lawful, transparent, at democratic transition ng fully-elected Parliament.
“By resetting the election date, we give the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) sufficient time to prepare, redraw precincts based on the new districts, and conduct a peaceful, orderly, and credible electoral exercise.” (ROMER R. BUTUYAN)
