April 27, 2022

Acting presidential spokesperson Martin Andanar said Wednesday that President Rodrigo Duterte signed a bill into law attempting to recompense victims of the Marawi siege.

“Pinirmahan din po ni Pangulong Duterte ang Republic Act No. 11696 na nagbibigay compensation sa pagkawala at pagkawasak ng mga ari-arian, at pagkawala ng mga buhay sa 2017 Marawi Siege,” Andanar said in a Palace press briefing.

“Ayon sa batas na ito, bubuo ng isang independent at quasi-judicial body na tatawaging Marawi Compensation Board na pamumunuan ng isang chairman at walong mga miyembro na i-a-appoint ng pangulo,” he added.
