Second BOL plebiscite ‘different’

THE second plebiscite that will be held next month would decide on the inclusion of several areas in the soon-to-be established Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Barmm), according to the Commission on Elections (Comelec).

Comelec spokesman James Jimenez made the clarification over the weekend, saying the second plebiscite scheduled on February 6 would only be for areas that submitted petitions for voluntary inclusion in the Barmm.
