The House of Representatives unanimously approved on third and final reading the Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL) on Wednesday, as earlier promised by House leaders.
The substitute bill for House Bill 6475, which seeks to abolish the current Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), was approved on second reading and consequently approved on final reading after President Rodrigo Duterte certified it as urgent.
The result of the voting was 227-11 with two abstentions.
