The BBL was signed into law by President Duterte on July 26, 2018.[1] The law included some language regarding the disbandment of the paramilitary groups. The law waived certain eligibility requirements for joining the police force for MILF and Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) fighters.[2] In addition, it obligated the National and Regional governments to establish programs to rehabilitate MILF and MNLF fighters.[3]
