THE senseless bombings of the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral in Jolo, Sulu last Sunday that killed 21 people, including six soldiers and injured 82 others happened after the yes votes won in the plebiscite in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), putting into motion the law that created the Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL).
