Next block for peace pact: Close congressional scrutiny

With the agreement creating the Bangsamoro now signed, Congress must see to it that draft law covering the pact is carefully examined and analyzed to sharpen its focus on bringing peace and prosperity to Mindanao, Senate President Franklin Drilon said on Thursday.

Drilon added that the Senate and the House of Representatives had already agreed to include the Bangsamoro Basic Law in their priority agenda, and are committed to pass it by the end of the year.
