Months after the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front signed a historic peace agreement in March 2014, stakeholders submitted to Congress the draft of the Bangsamoro Basic Law on September 10, 2014.
The document embodied the agreements between the government and the MILF as regards the new Bangsamoro political entity that will replace the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.

Its passage through Congress, however, is facing a costly after police commandos and the MILF figured in what authorities called "a misencounter" in Mamasapano, Maguindanao on Jan. 25.
Forty-four policemen and 18 MILF rebels died in clashes after the Philippine National Police-Special Action Force neutralized a suspected international terrorist in alleged MILF territory.
Members of Congress suspended further deliberations on the BBL before the Mamasapano clash is resolved.
