    • The AFP can no longer move freely in the Bangsamoro as it did in the ARMM. It must first ask for permission.
  • The oath of allegiance to the Republic of the Philippines which was in the ARMM no longer exist in the Bangsamoro. The oath of allegiance of public officials are to the Bangsamoro and not to the Republic of the Philippines.
  • The preamble pledges allegiance to the religion of Islam: "We, the Bangsamoro people and other inhabitants, imploring the aid of the Almighty, aspiring to establish an enduring peace on the basis of justice, balanced society, and asserting our right to conserve and develop our patrimony; reflective of our system of life as prescribed by our faith, and in harmony with our customary laws, cultures and traditions;"
    • "by our faith" means the religion of Islam.

The BBL draft passed: the word "contiguous" was replaced by "cities and provinces" and the 1976 tripoli agreement was included.

These are the country's representatives who voted on this:

The Bangsamoro does not pledge allegiance to the Republic of the Philippines

• The ARMM pledges allegiance to the Philippies: Article XVI General provisions: SEC. 3. "Oath of Office. – All public officers and employees, as well as members of the Regional Police Force and the military establishment, shall be required to take an oath of allegiance to the Republic of the Philippines, to support and defend the

Constitution and this Organic Act, renounce the use of violence, and commit themselves to democratic means in the pursuit of their ideals and aspirations."

• The Bangsamoro does not pledge allegiance to the Philippines. In fact the word "allegiance" is not even mentioned in the BBL. That section in the ARMM was removed when it became the BBL.
