MILF to Bongbong: ‘Pass BBL to atone for your father’s sins’
|
[Business World] On Saturday an editorial by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front said that Senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" R. Marcos, Jr. "should atone for the various sins of his father" committed against the Philippines and could do so by "supporting the passage of a good [Bangsamoro Basic Law] BBL in the Senate."
Mr. Marcos cannot atone for those "sins" if he uses "many precious days for hearings that are not extremely necessary or whose outcome can safely be predicted," said the editorial posted on the MILF's official Web site.
The Moro militant group was referring to unfinished hearings on the BBL in Jolo and Zamboanga, which are scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday this week.
The MILF blamed the "massacres of thousands of Moros in Mindanao" to the senator's father, including alleged massacres in Sultan Kudarat and Sulu. Under the Marcos dictatorship, more than 3,000 individuals were killed, 35,000 were tortured, and 70,000 were detained.
The MILF also referred to a news report where Marcos was quoted saying that his committee will not rush the BBL hearings. The militants said that this is "perfectly fine, but [if] it is meant to delay, then that is another matter. Anyone who deliberately impedes the passage of the BBL will be judged by the people in many ways."
