Muslim Filipinos to vote on larger Muslim autonomous law in southern Philippines

Soldiers from the Armed Forces of the Philippines stand guard at a security checkpoint in Cotabato City, the Philippines, Jan. 20, 2019. Muslim Filipinos will cast their vote on Monday to ratify the landmark Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL), a law that will pave the way for wider self-rule to the Muslim minority in the Philippines and is hoped to end the decades-old conflict in southern Philippines.
