Ayan Mellejor Federalism, BOL go hand in hand: DILG MANILA — Shifting to a federal form of government perfectly aligns with the Bangsamoro’s hope for local autonomy, an official of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said Monday. “Federalism will cement in the Constitution the asymmetric relationship between the autonomous region of Bangsamoro and the federal government,” DILG Assistant Secretary Jonathan E. Malaya said in a news release. He said this to assure the people of Bangsamoro that federalism will not undo the developments of the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL), but rather, will serve as the necessary push and support that Muslims in the region need for the autonomy they have been longing for. The Consultative Committee’s (ConCom) proposed Bayanihan Federal Constitution recognizes the cultural framework of the Bangsamoro people brought about by their Muslim faith. “Our Muslim brothers and sisters have a lot to look forward to when we shift to a federal system because it will only help you further the programs and projects needed to handle autonomy,” Malaya said. In Article XI of ConCom’s proposal, the Federal Republic will have 18 regions, 16 of which will be symmetrical in natural. Meanwhile, the Bangsamoro and the Cordilleras will have an asymmetrical setup due to provisions for their autonomy, recognizing ethnicity, culture, religion, customs, traditions, language and distinct identities of the Bangsamoro people.
