The recent Supreme Court ruling on the Bangsamoro Organic Law further strengthens the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao as they prepare for their first election in 2025, according to former Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri.
Despite his praise for the law’s potential, Zubiri—like other lawmakers—expressed regret over the exclusion of Sulu from BARMM. He explained that the opt-out provision, which allowed Sulu to remain outside the autonomous region, was a divisive issue during the law’s deliberation. He added that Sulu, now outside BARMM, would not benefit from the region’s additional block grant and would instead have to rely on the Department of Budget and Management , as well as the House of Representatives and the Senate, for its funding needs.
