The bicameral conference committee has changed the title of the Bangsamoro Basic Law to Bangsamoro Organic Law in compliance with the 1987 Constitution.
Section 1 of Article 1 of the reconciled measure now states that it shall be known as the Organic Law for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao while Section 2 states that the political entity shall be known as Bangsamoro Autonomous Region.
"Because that is what the Constitution provides," House Majority Leader Rodolfo Fariñas told reporters Wednesday when asked why they changed the title.
"The Constitution provides that the Congress shall enact an Organic Law for the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao and the Cordillera, so 'yun ang sinunod namin," he explained.
The joint panel approved the measure Wednesday night, after six days of deliberations.
Fariñas said they will send a copy of the reconciled bill to President Rodrigo Duterte to allow him to study it.
The Senate and the House of Representatives will ratify the measure when they open the Third Regular Session morning of Monday, July 23, and before the President delivers his State of the Nation Address.
