Kongreso na ang bahala: Duterte ’neutral’ on proposed Bangsamoro transition extension

By Prince Golez

President Rodrigo Duterte was “neutral” on the proposal to extend the transition period of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority, his spokesman said Monday.

In a virtual presser, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Duterte has decided to leave the matter to Congress.

“Ang naging desisyon ni presidente, matapos niyang pulungin ng dalawang pagkakataon ang kabilang panig, ay neutral po ang ating presidente. Iniiwan po niya sa Kongreso ang desisyon kung sila ay magpapasa ng batas kung papahabain pa ang transition period para sa Bangsamoro Transition Authority,” said Roque.

The President, he added, thinks that both sides made valid points.

“Doon sa panig ng deferment o pagpapahaba ng transition, mahirap nga daw mag eleksyon kasi wala pa silang Omnibus Election Code doon sa (Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao) at wala pa pong batas para sa redistricting,” said Roque.

“Pero sa panig na dapat mag eleksyon, importante na magkaroon ng mandato ang lahat ng political leaders natin para meron silang moral authority to lead, kaya iniwan ni presidente sa Kongreso ang desisyon,” he concluded.
