- What's going on with President Rodrigo Duterte lately? Right now, he signed an executive order establishing a new Bangsamoro Transition Commision to replace the original 15-member panel tasked with drafting the legal foundation of the future of Mindanao's Bangsamoro government, As he pushes for the BBL, Duterte said that his rivals in the May elections failed to make Mindanao a priority, adding he wants the Bangsamoro Basic Law to hurdle Congress quickly. Then. after his Cabinet members voted in favor of doing so, President Duterte announced that he will sign the Paris Agreement to combat climate change. He originally opposed it and vows to meet environment conditions without it.
