READ | Office of the Member of Parliament Mohammad S. Yacob, Ph.D., in collaboration with the Legal Liaison Network of the Bangsamoro Attorney General Office (LLN-BAGO), and the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Agrarian Reform (MAFAR), is currently organizing a comprehensive review and consultation session on two significant proposed legislation. The event is scheduled to take place from April 12-16, 2024, at the Dusit Thani Hotel in Davao City.

The primary objective of this gathering is to discuss and analyze the proposed Bangsamoro Agriculture, Fisheries, and Agrarian Reform (BAFAR) Code and the Bill Creating the Halal Office. The BAFAR Code focuses on the development of agriculture, fisheries, and agrarian reform in the Bangsamoro region. This code is expected to foster sustainable growth in these sectors, ensuring food security and economic stability for the people. The Halal Office Bill, on the other hand, aims to establish a halal office within Bangsamoro to cater to all matters related to halal (food and non-food services). This would help to protect and safeguard the consumer both Muslim and non-Muslim.

The Legal Officer of the Office of MP Yacob and the MAFAR Legal Officer are presenting the proposed code and office bill to the LLN, aiming to refine and improve the proposed code and office bill to benefit the Bangsamoro community and the region as a whole. Their collective efforts contribute to a better understanding of the proposed legislation and help identify areas for improvement. The LLN’s review and consultation on these bills signify the importance of inclusive decision-making processes in shaping the future of the Bangsamoro region.

Attending the activity are Atty. Nurwahid N. Lakin, RN, LLN President, Atty. Johayra C. Ysmael, Chairwoman of the Infrastructure Development Committee (IDC), Atty. Norhussein Lauban, Chairman of the Economic Development Committee (EDCom), and his members from different Ministries and Technical Personnel from Bangsamoro Attorney General Office (BAGO), Mr. Rahib Nandu and Ms. Edna Tatel from The Asia Foundation (TAF) – A Forward Bangsamoro, Attorneys from MAFAR headed by Nerissa Dalig, Attorney V., Atty.
