COTABATO CITY — Member of the Parliament Amilbahar Mawallil has filed eight bills in the second parliament on solar energy, barter trade, programs for persons with disabilities, and people’s right to information.
Through the
installation of solar energy systems in the region, MP Mawallil seeks to
support the Bangsamoro government’s mandate and institutionalize the
construction of renewable energy in all socialized programs.
MP Amir Mawallil
Supporting this measure is Parliament Bill No. 68, also known as Renewable Energy for Socialized Housing in the BARMM Act of 2022, which will establish a framework for the establishment of solar energy systems in all current and future regional housing projects implemented by the Bangsamoro government throughout the region.
The PB No. 71
proposes to establish, strengthen, and integrate regional energy policies and
mechanisms regarding energy safety practices, energy efficiency, and
conservation.
Another proposed
measure would also create a Bangsamoro Research and Development Authority, under
PB No. 70, also known as Bangsamoro Research Development Act of 2022, that
would formulate the research and development agenda for BARMM.
MP Mawallil is also
pushing for the recognition of licensure examination topnotchers in the region,
providing them with benefits, privileges, and cash incentives.
PB No. 69, or the
Bangsamoro Excellence and Incentives Act of 2022, includes all Bangsamoro
people who placed first to tenth in any national licensure examination in the
academic or educational field, including professional licensure examinations
given by the Professional Regulatory Commission and the Philippine Bar
Examination exclusively administered by the Supreme Court of the Philippines.
A Bangsamoro
Endowment Fund for Culture and the Arts Council will also be created to
administer the fund exclusively for the implementation of the Bangsamoro
government’s culture and arts program and to grant financial assistance.
As proposed under PB
No. 72, also known as the Bangsamoro Endowment Fund for Culture and the Arts
Act of 2022, the council may establish programs and grant financial assistance
to Bangsamoro groups and individuals of exceptional talent engaged in or
concerned with culture and the arts.
Meanwhile, PB No. 73,
also known as the Barter Trade Act of 2022, seeks to establish a legal
framework and mechanisms for the integration, coordination, planning, and
monitoring of Bangsamoro barter trade zones.
A Bangsamoro Barter
Trade Board will also be established to supervise, coordinate, and harmonize
regional barter trade policies, programs, and activities.
MP Mawallil also
seeks to assist the persons with disabilities in the region through the
establishment of a Regional Persons with Disabilities Affairs Office (R-PDAO).
The R-PDAO, as
proposed under PB No. 74, will explore livelihood opportunities that will
improve the health, physical fitness, economic well-being, and social
well-being of the PWDs in the region.
Completing MP
Mawallil’s eight proposed bills is PB No. 75, also known as the Bangsamoro
Freedom of Information Act of 2022, which covers all offices in the Bangsamoro
Government, including, but not limited to, the Bangsamoro Parliament; the
ministries, agencies, bureaus, commissions, boards, and instrumentalities of
the Bangsamoro Government; and Bangsamoro government-owned or controlled
corporations.
According to the
proposed measure, information, official records, public records, and documents
and papers pertaining to official acts, transactions, or decisions, as well as
government research data used as a basis for policy development, held by the
Bangsamoro Government or any of its offices, shall be open to inspection and
copying by any person.
The eight proposed
legislative measures were also co-authored by MPs Atty. Laisa Alamia, Engr.
Baintan Ampatuan, Atty. Rasol Mitmug Jr., Atty. Suharto Ambolodto, Rasul
Ismael, and Engr. Don Mustapha Loong. (LTAIS-Public Information, Publication,
