LANAO DEL SUR | The Bangsamoro Parliament’s Rules Committee held the last leg of its consultations for the proposed Bangsamoro Electoral Code, gathering the legislative input of stakeholders from Lanao del Sur.

Provincial, city, municipal, and barangay local government units, as well as election experts, academic institutions, religious sectors, and civil society organizations from the province, participated in the sixth and final round of public consultation.

The constitutionality, party district representatives, registration of political parties, representation of women, youth, and the religious sector in the proposed code were among the concerns raised by the stakeholders in Lanao del Sur.

Deputy Speaker Atty. Paisalin Tago assured that all of the input from the series of consultations will be thoroughly addressed during the committee deliberations.

The Parliament Bill No. 29, or the Bangsamoro Electoral Code, is a key measure that will prescribe the structural, functional, and procedural principles governing the holding of elections for officers in the region.

The public consultations led by the Rules Committee have already consulted stakeholders and experts from Manila, Basilan, Sulu, Tawi-Tawi, Maguindanao, Cotabato City, and the BARMM Special Geographic Area. (LTAIS-Public Information, Publication, and Media Relations Division)

The Bangsamoro Parliament’s Committee on Ethics and Privileges discussed this morning a proposed committee resolution that seeks to establish a Code of Ethics for the members of the Parliament.

The proposed code outlines the minimal ethical standard of conduct and behavior that MPs must follow, as well as what the Bangsamoro people expect from legislators and civil servants, such as upholding propriety, honesty, and ethical principles.

The committee will also draft a resolution to address the issue of lawmakers’ dress code.

Meanwhile, they elected MP Hamid Malik, who represents the region’s island provinces of Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi, as the committee’s additional vice chair.

The Committee on Ethics and Privileges, chaired by Deputy Speaker Atty. Omar Yasser Sema, has jurisdiction over matters relating to the duties, conduct, rights, privileges, immunities, integrity, and reputation of the BTA and its members.
