DAVAO CITY—A Bangsamoro lawmaker from the country’s farthest southern island province of Tawi-Tawi refiled or reintroduced six bills in its Parliament to “expand and improve the region’s airport and terminal building infrastructure, promote clean water, make dialysis treatment available at no cost to indigent patients and memorialize the core members of the Moro National Liberation Front.”
Once approved, the respective airport operators must submit a master plan for the long-term development of all airport passenger terminal infrastructure and facilities within BARMM to support the modernization of existing airport facilities. A regional heritage zone refers to historical, anthropological, archeological, and artistic geographic areas that are culturally significant to the Bangsamoro region, he added.
“The Ministry of Health must ensure that indigent patients, as identified by the Ministry of Social Services and Development, receive free dialysis treatments in all regional government hospitals,” he said in the bill.
