Tribune, Marcos share good gov’t journey (12)
Unity as mere rhetoric meant to create an illusion of a unifying leader, this was how critics described and ridiculed the battle cry of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. during the 2022 campaign. sire to bring together several sectors of society was stamped in the way he handled the deliberations on the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law — by seeking to extend the consultation to as many of the stakeholders as possible. In a Daily Tribune report on his address before students of the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila during a symposium entitled “In the Name of Peace,” the proposed law was presented to the youth. Marcos recalled that he visited various places in Mindanao and talked to major stakeholders like the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, the Moro National Liberation Front, indigenous peoples, the Sultanates, and representatives of different sectors of society. “Then I realized, I haven’t talked to the youth and the students yet. If I don’t do this it will be a major shortcoming because the youth are our country’s future and the principal beneficiary of the peace process,” Marcos said. In general, he said, BBL was part of the effort to bring peace and development to Muslim Mindanao under the context and framework of the Constitution. Marcos recognized the validity of creating autonomous regions, saying that people in certain areas of the country shared a “common and distinctive historical and cultural heritage” different from the rest of the country and that the Constitution authorized the creation of autonomous regions. Charter compliant Specifically, Marcos said the Constitution allowed for the creation of the Cordillera Autonomous Region and the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, which are vested with extensive powers not otherwise enjoyed by ordinary local governments, but so far only the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao had been organized. The draft Bangsamoro Basic Law sought to abolish the ARMM and repeal the law that created it, apparently based on a statement by President Benigno Aquino III that ARRM is a “failed experiment.” “The problem was — and this was a big problem — it turned out in our hearings in the Senate that many of the provisions of the draft BBL were unconstitutional,” Marcos said. He said he sought the help of the Senate’s resident constitutional expert, the late Senator Miriam Santiago, to conduct hearings on the constitutionality of the draft BBL. Citing the Santiago report, Marcos said the BBL aimed to create a “part-sovereign” or “sub-state” called Bangsamoro with elements of a state under the Montevideo Convention, namely, a permanent population, defined territory, and capacity to enter into relations with other States. The Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States is a treaty signed in Montevideo, Uruguay, on 26 December 1933, that codified the declarative theory of statehood as accepted as part of customary international law. Had Congress adopted the draft BBL based on the Palace proposal, the new law would have violated the Constitution and would have faced a challenge before the Supreme Court. Marcos said the remedy was to either amend the draft BBL to make it consistent with the Constitution or to amend the Constitution to accommodate the drastic changes the BBL sought to put in place. Shortcuts not allowed “These are the peaceful, unifying, and constitutional ways of doing it. In the name of peace, let these be done. No shortcuts. No railroading. No threats of violence. No threats of war,” Marcos stressed. “Let us do this right, as one nation united by our Constitution and under one flag,” he added. Earlier, Marcos prepared a substitute bill that addressed the constitutional issues against the BBL. He vowed the substitute bill would ensure the sovereignty and integrity of the country even as it strove to achieve lasting peace and development in Mindanao.
