DAVAO CITY – The Supreme Court ruling excluding Sulu province from the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao drew mixed reactions from some key government officials in the region.
The Supreme Court on September 9 unanimously upheld the constitutionality of the Bangsamoro Organic Law but ruled that Sulu is not part of BARMM after the province voted against the law’s ratification in 2019.Former Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao Governor now Basilan Rep. Mujiv Hataman cited the High Court’s decision to uphold the constitutionality of the BOL but said the exclusion of Sulu is a big blow to the government’s effort to unify the once fragmented region.
Lanao del Sur Rep. Zia Alonto Adiong recalled that the plebiscite question posed to the core areas, including Sulu, was clear:"Payag ba kayo na pagtibayin ang Batas Republika Blg. 11054 na kilala din bilang 'Organic Law for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao'?" “Sulu and its people have always been central to the cause for autonomy. It was their bravery that ignited the fire that would ultimately forge the BARMM. The struggles and sacrifices of the Tausūg have laid the groundwork for the freedoms we now enjoy. Their unwavering commitment to our shared dream of autonomy and peace is deeply ingrained in the history of the Bangsamoro,” Adiong said.
He was also quoted in news reports that he want Sulu to opt out of the Bangsamoro region and join the Zamboanga Peninsula region instead.
