The newly enacted Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL) and the current peace situation of the island will be part of the major topics to be discussed at the Mindanao Business Conference (Minbizcon) on September 13 to 15, 2018 in Tagum City.

The next part of the session, Milan said, will discuss about the newly enacted Bangsamoro Organic Law.
“And for the third part of the session, we will be having secretary ( Jesus) Dureza to talk about peace initiatives in Mindanao,” Milan said.
