MANILA, Philippines — Officials of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority (BTA) are optimistic that they would be able to pass their election law within the year as part of the preparations for the 2025 polls, President Ferindand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr' peace adviser said Wednesday.

 

Presidential peace adviser Carlito Galvez, Jr. said Marcos called for the passage of laws on the Bangsamoro region's elections, local government, revenue and indigenous peoples during the recent oath-taking of the BTA members. The BTA comprises the autonomous region's parliament.

 

"The four codes are important, especially with the instruction of our president, we have to prepare for the 2025 election," Galvez said at a Palace press briefing.
