House Bill 4994 is junk. There's a big difference between the two scenarios. For BBL, it's running an autonomy within a unitary and centralized presidential system apparently will not work since the Centralized system still limit that autonomy.
Reading and analyzing these 2 statements multiple times i conclude that the man has no sound understanding. What I said is that once the whole country is under federalism, the autonomus region will also become a fderal state and this BBL(federal state) will govern the region. This is not about MILF ruling the BBL. It is well stated in the house bill that any person regardless of religion, political party, tribes, can run in the democratic elections just like the ARMM before. Any political organization like MNLF, Abu Sayaf, or BIFF were not forbidden to run in the BBL. Proof that the MNLF is not absolute ruler of ARMM was Misuaris defeat in succeeding elections. Same will happen in the BBL. The MILF is only the primary party for the creation of BBL just like MIsuari for ARMM, but MILF and MNLF are no absolute rulers of the autonomous regions. The central government will always have a say if theres any violation of the the law in the BBL and may take over the government if any group will impose dictatorship in the system.. That is why i say, pls read the BBL provisions.
