MANILA — President Rodrigo Duterte is scheduled to sign the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) into law on July 23, 2018, just hours before his third State of the Nation Address (SONA). House Majority Leader Rodolfo Fariñas confirmed that the President has certified the BBL as urgent to fast-track its passage through both the House and the Senate. The bicameral conference committee will convene during the congressional break to reconcile conflicting versions of the bill alongside the Bangsamoro Transition Commission. Once ratified in the morning plenary sessions, the historic bill will be signed at 4 p.m., marking a significant milestone in the administration's Mindanao peace agenda.
