BARMM chief wants ‘next president’ Robredo to continue peace process
Bangsamoro Interim Chief Minister Ahod Ebrahim expressed on Wednesday, March 16, that the Bangsamoro government wants presidential candidate Vice President Leni Robredo to continue the peace process in the region if she wins the May 2022 elections.
Ebrahim made these remarks during a meeting with Robredo at the Bangsamoro Government Center in Cotabato City.
He specifically mentioned the need for continuity in the implementation of the peace process and lauded Robredo's role as co-author of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) in the 16th Congress.
Robredo stated that co-authoring the BBL was an emotional experience, feeling like a continuation of her late husband Jesse Robredo's work.
The passage of the BBL was previously stalled due to the 2015 Mamasapano clash, but the Bangsamoro Organic Law was eventually passed under President Rodrigo Duterte's administration.
