President Rodrigo Duterte said on Wednesday he might resign if Congress fails to act on the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law before end of May.

In a speech in Maguindanao, Duterte reiterated his promise to fast-track the passage of BBL.

"So let us fast-track the BBL...I promised before that it will be passed by May, before the end of May it will be passed. If not, I might resign as president," he said.

Duterte said he would feel useless if the bill would not be enacted.

"I'm already tired to solve the problem," he added. Celerina Monte/DMS
