MEMBERS of the Visayan Bloc at the House of Representatives led by Negros Occidental Rep. Alfredo "Albee" Benitez on Friday, April 6, called for the immediate passage of a Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL).
In a statement, the group said it firmly believes "that the BBL will pave the way for long-lasting peace and socio-economic development in the proposed Bangsamoro region by allowing the establishment of a regional government that is anchored on the Bangsamoro identity."
