STATEMENT OF SEN. GUINGONA ON THE SUBMISSION
OF THE BANGSAMORO BASIC LAW TO CONGRESS

Today's historical event is a major step forward by our country in our bid to recognize the right of our fellow Filipinos with a culture and history of their own as everyone else's equal.

This event is particularly significant to me both as a son of Mindanao and as chair of the Senate Committee on Peace and Unification. I share the elation of my fellow Mindanaoans as we move closer to the passage of a Bangsamoro Basic Law that addresses the aspirations of our people for peace and meaningful development.

I state for the record the commitment of the Senate Committee on Peace and Unification to ensure that this historic and landmark piece of legislation shall be completed and passed soonest.
