After waiting for some time, the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) Parliament has finally approved on Wednesday, October 28, 2020 Cabinet Bill No. 60 or the Bangsamoro Administrative Code, in a two-day special session where Parliament members unanimously voted in favor of the passage.
Through nominal voting, 26 members voted physically while 32 voted via Zoom teleconference. All of them voted “yes” and nobody abstained on the approval of the bill.
That day was historic in nature since the Bangsamoro Administrative Code will define the structural, functional, and procedural principles and rules of governance of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM).
Filing of the Bill
Cabinet Bill No. 60 was filed in the plenary in July 2020, prompting the Parliament’s Committee on Rules to form a panel headed by Deputy Majority Floor Leader Atty. Raissa Jajurie for public consultations. She also headed the technical working group in the Committee on Rules for the said Cabinet Bill.
