Are you supporting federalism, what can you say about BBL?

---

allowing the Bangsamoro Government to keep 75% of the taxes in the autonomous region, to get the lion’s share of revenues from natural resources in the region, and to get 50% of the revenues from fossil fuel exploitation there, inevitably reduces the corresponding shares of the Philippine provinces, municipalities and cities which are not included within the Bangsamoro region.

What's' federalism for if you're not amendable of this profit sharing scheme....Alangan naman 25% ila then 75% sa central government. Balo ba ka bay sa concept sa federal system?

No need to ask me that question, clearly wala nmo nakita ang point.. and to state nga unconstitutional na nga provision.

That reduction in their shares of revenues will translate to a substantial reduction in government services and will trigger more taxes if basic state services are to continue to be delivered. In other words, the Bangsamoro Basic Law affords extra-ordinarily special treatment to the Bangsamoro Government, to the prejudice of and damage to other local government units in the Philippines.

why the heck them only at the expense of other local government units? Na gets nmo? Unfair in every sense.

Hayyyyyyyyyyyy....

then what's your thought?

To me fairness dictates that if the people in Luzon, the Visayas, and the bulk of Mindanao will end up with a substantial reduction in their shares of the national revenues pursuant to the Bangsamoro Basic Law, then the plebiscite to be held on the Bangsamoro Basic Law should not be limited to the Bangsamoro territory.

I am pointing to BBL, not to the general system sa federalism.

There's a big difference sa duha.

Bro @wifi, as so you know.. BBL is a good start, why? I'm still not saying I'm totally against it since there it is already, well presented na. Most aspects of the agreement are reasonable, but the thing is it needs some tweaking/revising that would improve the document that it will not only benefit the ARMM alone but as a whole nation. Im supporting Federalism for a change but BBL, big NO as of the moment.

Let the whole country decide. Imho, it would not be fair for the majority to be held hostage by the minority...

Ang nakalahi sa BBL ug Federalism ang BBL naa silay ilang kaugalingon army nga di gani motuman sa geneva convention ug above philippine laws na. Kung naa silay ma tripan nga patyon, mabuhat ra nila ug di sila gukdon sa govt, just like what is happening now. Ang federalism is we separate but we still follow the country's laws ug di magtukod ug private armies.

Given yes.sakto ka bro.. Mao nay naka butang sa bbl. But naay daghan statement o paragraph ngadto na vague kau which needs to bw clairified. Will post later sa points sa akong gi mention kaynkisod sa mobile nag type.

Section 2. Bangsamoro Police. – The Police shall be for the primary purpose of law enforcement and maintenance of peace and order. It shall be part of the Philippine National Police.

May we presume this means Central government would be able to direct Bangsamoro police in operational situations? That is, we presume Bangsamoro police can be relied upon to execute the mandates of Central in crucial military or policing situations such as the hunt for global terrorists.

Words mean a lot.


“Shall be a part of” is not as definitive as “reports to”. I’m guessing that, in practice, this is an area of likely friction. Perhaps huge given that even Central policing and military forces don’t see eye to eye. How do Central and Bangsamoro police agencies fit together in situations of possible armed conflict? Especially when inter-agency trust is likely very weak.



====

Section 14. National Support Services. - The relationship between the Bangsamoro Police and the national support services of the Philippine National Police shall be determined by the intergovernmental relations body.

This is too vague. It works for administrative matters but not operational matters. It does not clearly define how cooperation between Bangsamoro police and Central defense and policing operations would be handled. Urgent or large operations can’t be worked out in cumbersome administrative coordination meetings.
