00:05thanked President Ferdinand R. Marcus Jr. for certifying as urgent the measure seeking to
00:10postpone the holding of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao or BAM elections.
00:16For its part, the Presidential Communications Office, or PCO, says the chief executive believes
00:22this move will help address the region's needs before the holding of a political exercise.
00:27Also, it is geared towards promoting unity and shows genuine recognition of BARMM's autonomy.
00:57So it's very imperative and very important that before we can proceed with the election,
01:02we need to redistribute these 80 seats first.
