SC expected to consolidate two petitions that challenged constitutionality of BOL 1 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Rey PanaliganThe Supreme Court (SC) is expected to consolidate two petitions that challenged the constitutionality of the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL). It has already required the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) to submit its comment on the first petition filed by Sulu Gov. The second petition was filed last week by the Philippine Constitution Association (Philconsa) which claimed that BOL under Republic Act No. It alleged that the establishment of a parliamentary form of government in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) is violative of the Constitution, which specifically recognized only the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) and the Cordillera Autonomous Region (CAR).
