The Moro National Liberation Front has declared that it is not supporting the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), citing the government’s supposed failure to fully implement a peace agreement that it signed with the MNLF on September 2, 1996.

Besides, MNLF Vice Chairman Jimmy Labawan, officer-in-charge of the MNLF Central Committee, said over the weekend, the BBL is a divide-and rule tactic of the Aquino administration that only creates more serious problems between the Bangsamore people and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
