Pati rin po ang stand ng Sultanate of Sulu hindi magbabago: NO TO BBL! Kaya wag pasaway at ipagpilitan. Yung decommisioning nga nasa kampo ng MILF ang mga armas na isinuko, sa Darapanan or sa Abubakar na hawak ng AFP. Babantayan daw ng MILF at AFP. Ang susi hawak ng international monitoring team, nakanino? Malaysia? Hmmmm #RECLAIMSABAH
Marcos: 'Aquino wants me out of BBL'
"I just received information that there was mention of a reorganization, as if to imply that the change is needed to ensure the passage of the BBL," Marcos told reporters.
When asked who he was quoting, Marcos did not mince words: "the President said."
"Nothing will change because if you reorganize, that does not make the BBL more constitutional. A reorganization does not make the problems that we have found in the BBL go away. It will not help the legislative process. That's what I'm saying."
"So it won't change what I'm doing, I believe in what I'm doing. First, I do not feel alluded to, because there's no desire on my part to get in the way of everything. In fact I'm trying to make it better. Again, this is what some people do not seem to understand. If that is the threat that they are making, then fine, bring it on!" he added.

MANILA – President Aquino allegedly ordered Senate President Franklin Drilon to initiate a reorganization in the Upper Chamber to fast track the passage of Palace-drafted Bangsamoro Basic Law (BBL), Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr., claimed on Thursday.
Marcos told journalists that on the matter of the imminent reorganization in the Senate, he himself will be booted out of the chairmanship in the committee on local government, currently handling the deliberation on the proposed measure.
"I just received information that there was mention of a reorganization, as if to imply that the change is needed to ensure the passage of the BBL," he told reporters.
When asked who he was quoting, Marcos did not mince words: "the President said."
Marcos said he believed such talk of reorganization of key positions in the upper chamber could have just been borne out of complete lack of understanding of the legislative process that supposedly contributed to the delays in the passage of the BBL.
"Now we are under threat of reorganization in the Senate. But that will not change anything," Marcos told reporters, saying that he will remain unfazed by such coercion or pressure to change what he had been doing.
"The so-called delay is not true.. Look at what's going on, the process is continuing, it has not stopped.
"So it won't change what I'm doing, I believe in what I'm doing. First, I do not feel alluded to, because there's no desire on my part to get in the way of everything. In fact I'm trying to make it better. Again, this is what some people do not seem to understand. If that is the threat that they are making, then fine, bring it on!" he said.
Marcos was alluding to pronouncements issued by the President against him during the ceremonial turnover of weapons of some members the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), specifically on the matter of lawmakers allegedly "blocking" the passage of the BBL.
"He must be talking about some other lawmakers who are getting in the way, not me. I have not stopped working on the BBL since the moment it was referred to my committee. You were all witnesses to that. We have not stopped. The only time we suspended (deliberations) was (when we decided) to conduct the Mamasapano investigation," he said.
But whether Malacañang succeeds in ousting him and effecting a reorganization of the committee chairmanships, the senator expressed belief that it will not create any major impact as far as the BBL is concerned.
"Nothing will change because if you reorganize, that does not make the BBL more constitutional. A reorganization does not make the problems that we have found in the BBL go away. It will not help the legislative process. That's what I'm saying."
"I do not know where this came from but it does not come from somebody who has an understanding of what we are doing," Marcos said.
"I hope this talk of a reorganization is not true because it will not really help anything. It would just cause confusion and lead to more waste of work that has already been done by the committees. They'll pretty much have to start again," he said. "That's where the real delay will happen."
"Again my position has always been very clear, I will continue to stand for what I believe in, I will still continue, I will make sure that this will not be railroaded or rushed," Marcos said, elaborating that he could only hope the Senate leadership is not caving in to pressure from the Executive Branch.
