In a joint statement, the Marawi Reconstruction Conflict Watch and International Alert Philippines requested the House to pass Senate Bill 2420 so it could be signed by President Rodrigo Duterte before they go into recess for the election season.
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – A group of civil and non-government organizations monitoring the welfare of the 2017 Marawi City siege’s internally displaced persons has called on the House of Representatives to adopt the Marawi Siege Victims Compensation Act of 2022 recently approved by the Senate in the third and final reading.
“This monumental gesture by the House to adopt the Senate version will symbolize the legislative’s commitment and recognition of the moral and legal obligation of the state to the full recovery of the Meranaw IDPs whose lives have been suspended in this long process of rehabilitation and recovery of Marawi City and its people,” the group said.
Adiong expressed hope that the House would adopt the Senate amendments before sessions adjourn between January 31 and February 4.
