Drilon: Mamasapano probe should not hamper remaining Senate legislative agenda

While the Senate leadership supports the reopening of the Mamasapano probe, Senate President Franklin M. Drilon said that he can only hope that the move will not further cause delay in the enactment of the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL).

The senate leader also expressed concerns that the passage of the BBL may again be put in peril due to the issues surrounding the Mamasapano incident.

While Drilon gave assurance that the passage of the bbl will be the senate’s top priority, he hoped that the ceasefire between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) will continue to hold even if the current congress fails to pass the bill.
