GENERAL SANTOS CITY, May 5, 2015 – Last April 27, the Citizens' Peace Council, with one of its convenors, former Chief Justice Hilario G. Davide Jr., reporting, told the House Ad Hoc Committee on Bangsamoro Basic Law (AHCBBL) that the proposed BBL "is compliant with the 1987 Constitution" and "the objection on the BBL because it will create a separate state has no basis" ( GMA News, April 27, 2015: BBL complies with 1987 Constitution – peace council ). The Peace Council, in another GMA News report on the same day ( Peace Council proposes minor changes to 'unconstitutional' clauses in draft BBL ), "has proposed changes to certain provisions in the bill (HB 4994) that some lawmakers have deemed unconstitutional and want to delete".
