The Council of Leaders is an advisory body mandated to assist the Chief Minister of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao in governing the autonomous region.
History
[edit]The Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL), the charter legislation of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, mandates for the creation of a Council of Leaders which is intended to be an advisory body for the Chief Minister.
In June 2021. the Council of Leaders convened where they came up with a consensus to support the extension of the Bangsamoro transition period from 2022 to 2025.[1]
Sometime in 2021, Administrative Order No. 8 was issued to determine guidelines on how to fill in the community and sectoral representatives of the council with the Bangsamoro Administrative Code (BAC) as basis.[2] The BAC itself was signed into law in November 2020.[3]
Members
[edit]The Council of Leaders consists of both elected and nominated community and sectoral representatives. The holder of the Chief Minister position heads the council. The other elected members are the executive heads of Bangsamoro's provinces and chartered cities as well as members of the Philippine national government's House of Representatives from the autonomous region.[4]
The term of the community and sectoral representatives are coterminous with the appointing chief minister unless otherwise removed from the cause.[5]
