May 23, 2022 | The co-authors of the BTA-Bill No. 157 and the legislative staffs of the BTA joined the learning event on Regional Social Enterprise Policy in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) which was held today, May 23, 2022 at 2:00- 4:00PM via Virtual Zoom.
The learning event includes a discussion on Social Enterprise 101 and a presentation of the Salient Features of BTA-Bill No. 157 (SE Bill).
This initiative is anchored on Section 27, Article XIII of the Bangsamoro Organic Law which provides that: “The Bangsamoro Government shall encourage and promote social entrepreneurship as a means to engage in the private sector, to assist in the development, funding and implementation of solutions to social, cultural, or environmental issues.”
“As a member of a Social Enterprise Policy Technical Working Group, I have personally seen the power of social enterprises and its potential to sustain the gains of peace in the region. It merits its own legislation to support the flourishing social enterprise environment in the BARMM. I believe that the said learning session will provide handles on social entrepreneurship as well as introduce the social enterprise policy for BARMM stakeholders.” MP Latiph said.
