The Supreme Court on Tuesday denied the motions seeking to reverse an earlier decision excluding the province of Sulu in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao . “The Supreme Court denied the motions for partial reconsideration filed by the government of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao , the Office of the Solicitor General, and others,” the SC said in a briefer.
” The SC in September upheld the validity of the Bangsamoro Organic Law but declared that Sulu was not part of the BARMM. The Sulu province rejected the ratification of the BOL during the plebiscite in 2019. “As Sulu rejected the Bangsamoro Organic Law in the plebiscite, it was wrong to include the province in BARMM,” said SC spokesperson Camille Ting then.
