COTABATO CITY, Philippines — Politicians campaigning for or against the ratification of the Bangsamoro Organic Law should refrain from discourse that can derail the peace process, peace advocates said. Galvez was one of the guests at Wednesday’s "ulat sa bayan" of the ARMM Gov. In his report to the region, Hataman asked constituents to vote in favor of the BOL during the January 21, 2019 plebiscite. If you are for a 'no' vote, that is your choice and no one must harm you for having that conviction,” said Matabalo, also a supporter of the southern Mindanao peace process. Muslim and Christian lawyers and religious leaders have been trying to disprove the insinuations through forums.
