00:00House Committee on Mindanao Affairs Vice-Chair and Lano Del Sur Representative Zia Alonto Adyong thanked President Ferdinand Marquez Jr.
00:09for certifying as urgent the bill to postpone the Bank's Tomorrow Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao or Burma elections.
00:17The chief executive believes this motive addresses the need for the Bank's Tomorrow transitional government
00:24to realign its governance structure due to recent legal issues.
00:30The bill aims to ensure the region's aspirations for unity, inclusivity, and genuine autonomy are achieved.
00:38The proposed election postponement, originally scheduled for May 12, 2025,
00:43is now being debated, with the House pushing for a delay until 2026 and the Senate favoring October 2025.
00:55We are thankful to President Bongbong Marcos because part of his priority is the promotion of Burma.
01:01We all know that Burma is still in the transition period.
01:04Unfortunately, with the decision of the Supreme Court excluding Sulu as part of the core territory,
01:11it had an impact on the selection of seats for the 80 seats in Parliament.
01:17So it's very imperative and very important that before we can proceed with the election,
01:22the 80 seats must be redistributed first.
