During his speech, President Benigno Simeon Aquino III called on Congress to ensure the swift passage of the Bangsamoro Basic Law to be able to entrench the Bangsamoro Transition Authority as early as possible in 2015. “Sa abot ng ating makakaya, isusulong natin ang isang panukalang batas na makatuwiran, makatarungan, at katanggap-tanggap sa lahat (To the best of our ability, we will push for a draft bill that will be reasonable, just, and acceptable to all),” President Aquino said. The President likewise emphasized government’s strong commitment to see the process through towards the establishment of the Bangsamoro political entity. “Napakarami na nga po nating narating dahil sa tiwala – at wala tayong balak basagin ang tiwalang ito. Ang gobyerno niyo ngayon: may isang salita (We have already achieved a lot because of trust – and we will never betray this trust. Your government will keep its word.),” Aquino said.
