KAPAMPANGAN ALDERMEN ASK
MARCOS TO EXPLAIN BBL’s
IMPACT
ALDERMEN in Pampanga
have requested Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” R. Marcos Jr. to enlighten them on
the impact of the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) on the Filipino people.
In a letter, the
Pampanga Councilors’ League (PCL) invited Marcos to educate the Kapampangan
councilors on the BBL during the group’s mid-year assembly on Friday, June 26,
at Oxford Hotel, Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga.
“As the lead senator
working on the BBL, we believe that you can educate us and share your insights
on the BBL’s impact to the majority of Filipinos, including Kapampangans. Also,
it would be a privilege to hear your comments on BBL as far as legislation is
concerned,” the PCL said in an invitation letter to Marcos signed by its
president, Michael Tapang, a board member of the Pampanga Provincial Council.
Marcos granted the
request, saying that it is his duty to keep the public informed about the BBL.
“As chairman of the
Senate Committee on Local Government, it is my mandate to explain to the people
matters of great importance,” he said.
He said that the BBL
is not an exclusive concern of the people of Mindanao but a measure that will
affect the whole country once approved into law.
“Therefore, I felt the
need to bring the discussion on BBL to non-Mindanaoans. I appreciate the
efforts of the Kapampangan councilors to invite me to speak on the matter
during their assembly,” Marcos said. /MP
