00:00House Committee on Mindanao Affairs Vice Chair and Lanao del Sur Representative Zia Alonto-Adiong thanked President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
00:10for his certification as the Urgent of the Legislation that will determine the passing of the Bank of Moro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao or BARM Elections.
00:21According to Adiong, this action is expected to help to address the current issues in the region before the election.
00:29This will also help to ensure the unity and true recognition of BARM.
00:34The resolution was first passed in the House of Representatives while it was also passed in the Senate in the second reading.
00:42We are thankful to President Bongbong Marcos because the promotion of BARM is part of his priority.
00:49We know that BARM is still in the transition period.
00:52Unfortunately, with the decision of the Supreme Court excluding Sulu as part of the core territory,
00:59it had an impact on the selection of seats for the 80 seats in the Parliament.
01:04So it's very imperative and very important that before we can proceed with the election,
01:09these 80 seats should be redistributed first.
