PAGADIAN CITY,
Zamboanga del Sur, May 3 (PNA) -- At least 5,000 people from different sectors
are expected to participate Sunday, May 4, in a peace rally here in support of
the passage of the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law.
The Mindanao Alliance
for Peace (MAP) and the Consortium of Bangsamoro Civil Society (CBCS) will lead
the peace rally that will start at 8 a.m. at Plaza Luz located in front of City
Hall.
CBCS Chairman Guiamel
Alin said Saturday the peace rally dubbed as “People’s popular ratification of
the Bangsamoro Basic Law” will be participated in by the Bangsamoro people.
Alin said the
participants will come from the nearby provinces of Zamboanga Sibugay, Lanao
del Norte and Lanao del Sur aside from those from this province’ 26
municipalities and one city.
Alin said the peace
rally will be held simultaneously with that in other Mindanao areas
particularly in the proposed Bangsamoro Region and in neighboring provinces
outside the proposed region “to show our support to the passage of the proposed
Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL).”
“We strongly endorse
the adoption of the proposed BBL by the Congress; It reflects the century-old
dreams and aspiration of the Bangsamoro people for meaningful autonomy and
self-determination,” he said.
Bangsamoro Transition
Commission member Atty. Raissa Jajurie said the proposed BBL was the product of
the series of consultations and recommendations of the different sectors of the
society from the proposed Bangsamoro Region as agreed in the Comprehensive
Agreement of Bangsamoro (CAB).
Jajurie said the
proposed BBL was already submitted to President Benigno Simeon Aquino, III for
review and for the Chief Executive to certify it as an urgent bill before
submission to the Congress for ratification.
Jajurie was the
resource speaker Saturday during the information education campaign on CAB and
proposed BBL held in this city.
The activity was
attended by the different moro-community leaders of this province and that of
the nearby Zamboanga Sibugay province. (PNA)
