Bangsamoro difficult to secure. The right to self-determination cannot be used to justify this kind
of relationship between the Bangsamoro government and the central government.
But for Azcuna, the asymmetric relationship is an attempt to reverse the balance. That
is why there is a provision here on transitional justice. Let us let them chart their own course.
Bangsamoro is an attempt to redress long historical imbalances. He further stated that the
asymmetric relationship between the autonomous region and the central government is an
attempt to address that imbalance.
Furthermore, Dr. Abueva of the University of the Philippines stated that the The
Constitution, the Bangsamoro Basic law and other laws must be interpreted as enabling
authority, rather than obstacles to its fulfillment. We need a progressive political outlook and
transforming leadership, an inclusive view of Filipino nationalism, nationhood and nationbuilding and a deep and broad concept of compensatory and redistributive justice.3
It is also very important that before the Congress enacts this as a law, some terms should
be carefully defined so as to prevent any ambiguity in the future such as the aforementioned
terms, the territorial scope of the Bangsamoro, the ministerial form of government, as well as the
asymmetrical relationship between the central government and the Bangsamoro. Let me quote
Dean Tony La Vias line in one of his articles in MST, It is too dangerous to leave these
concepts legally undefined as, in a vacuum, the Supreme Court would be compelled to come in
with its own interpretation that might not have been the intent of Congress but which would
make the former conclude that the BBL is unconstitutional.
