MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, Jan. 29 (PIA) --- Provincial Governor Mamintal ‘Bombit’ Alonto Adiong Jr. reiterated his full support for the passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL).

He urged his constituents to remain calm and optimistic while maintaining their support for the BBL.
"Maging mahinahon po tayo at wag basta maniniwala sa mga hakahaka at hintayin natin ang imbestigasyon sa nangyari sa Maguindanao. Ayaw nating mangyari ito sa probinsya kaya ang Lanao del Sur ay sumusuporta na maisulong ang usapang pangkapayapaan,” (Let us be patient and wait for the results of investigation in Mindanao. Do not be misled by wrong information. We do not want this to happen here that is why Lanao del Sur is supportive to the peace process), he said.
He also requested Congress not to withdraw their support to the BBL citing the need for long lasting peace here in Mindanao.
The provincial IEC on the BBL was attended by local chief executives in the province.
Atty. Mohammad Al Julkipli, member of GPH-MILF Legal Team, discussed to to the attendees the salient features of the proposed BBL and some of the frequently asked questions on the proposed BBL.
He said the primary goal of the provincial IEC is to inform the people with the right and correct information on the proposed BBL.
He thus appealed to the attendees to let their constituents be aware and informed of the BBL to avoid misconceptions. “The decision is theirs, whether to vote yes or no, based on their judgment and the correct information they got,” he added.
He also clarified that the government is still committed to pursue the path of peace.
Hindi po totoo na ibinasura na ang BBL dahil sa nangyari sa Mamasapano, kundi pansamantala pong sinuspinde ito pending investigation, (It is not true that the BBL was dismissed because of what happened in Mamasapano. It was only temporarily suspended pending investigation of the incident), he said. (APB/JNY/PIA-10)
