Atienza asks House leadership to temporarily defer all deliberations on proposed BBL

BUHAY Party-list Rep. Lito Atienza on Thursday called on the House leadership to temporarily defer all deliberations on the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law in light of the killing of 44 policemen in clashes with elements of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front in Mamasapano, Maguindanao. "I call on Speaker Belmonte, Majority Floor Leader Boyet Gonzales and BBL Ad Hoc Committee Chairman Congressman Rufus Rodriguez to suspend all deliberations on the BBL while the killing of 44 policemen is being investigated, while the truth is being determined and justice is not rendered," Atienza said.
