DAVAO CITY – The Moro Islamic Liberation Front has questioned the recent appointment of new members of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority at the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao as it violates the Bangsamoro Organic Law.In an editorial posted on the MILF official news website, luwaran.com, the group raised questions on the recent move of Malacañang after President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. appointed Maguindanao del Norte Gov.
But for the MILF, some of the BTA appointees were said to be outside of the group’s recommended list. Under Section 2, Article XVI of BOL or rhe Republic Act No. 11054, it explicitly states that the “Moro Islamic Liberation Front shall lead the Bangsamoro Transition Authority .” However, according to various sources, some of the newly appointed BTA members were not among those recommended by the MILF.
The MILF pointed out that the President has bypassed their recommendations as he has also stripped the MILF of its rightful role in leading the governance of BARMM as mandated by the BOL.
