In a TV advertisement Senator Ferdinand Martin "Bongbong" R. Marcos, Jr explains to the nation why the passage of the controversial Bangsamoro Basic Law is  being delayed.

He explained on the advertisement the just like all he wanted peace but the the BBL has many provisions that are against the Philippine Constitution. He said that he talked the stakeholders and they have only one judgement, 'it will not give us peace'. A law with such importance to the nation must not be rushed instead it must be reviewed carefully, he added.

He said that they are studying alternatives for the BBL and he also asked all to pray for prowess and enlightenment. "Let us not fear to do what is right for peace and unity of our nation", he quoted in the end the advertisement.

The advertisement is being aired on TV primetime since the first week of July.

The Bangsamoro Basic Law or BBL is a draft law intended to establish the Bangsamoro political entity in the Philippines and provide for its basic structure of government, which will replace the existing Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
