About the book
The law, signed on 26 July 2018 and ratified in January 2019, that created the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region and its parliamentary government. Free to read at the Lawphil Project.
Republic Act No. 11054 is the Organic Law for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. It repealed the earlier organic acts of the ARMM, Republic Act No. 6734 and Republic Act No. 9054. Its preamble speaks of the aspirations of the Bangsamoro people and other inhabitants of the region to an enduring peace built on justice, within the Constitution and the sovereignty of the Republic.
The law has 18 articles. They cover Bangsamoro identity, the region's territory, the powers of the regional and national governments and how they relate, the Bangsamoro government and its Wali, basic rights, the justice system including Shari'ah courts, security and public order, fiscal autonomy, the regional economy, rehabilitation and development, the plebiscite, and the Bangsamoro Transition Authority.
Some key provisions: a Parliament of 80 members, half of them representatives of political parties elected by proportional representation; an annual block grant equal to 5% of net national internal revenue and customs collections; and a Transition Authority of 80 members appointed by the President and led by the MILF, to govern during the transition.
