[Title] => Senate okays bill appropriating P10 B for Marcos rights victims
[Summary] =>
The Senate has approved a bill providing for around P10 billion as compensation for human rights victims during the regime of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
Under the Senate bill, the rights victims would be getting $200 million from the $718 million recovered by the Philippine government from the Marcoses’ secret Swiss bank accounts.
This is in contrast to the counterpart bill being pushed by the House of Representatives, which calls for P8 billion for the victims.
