Civil Administration Reform – 2018
2018
The BBL was signed into law by President Duterte on July 26, 2018.[1] The law included provisions requiring the Bangsamoro government’s representation in the National Government “as far as practicable.”[2] The law also required the Bangsamoro government to enact a civil service law to “govern the conduct of civil servants, the qualifications for nonelective positions, adopt the merit and fitness system, and protect civil service eligible in various government positions, including government-owned or controlled corporations.”[3]
