After so many decades, this horror still isn’t over.
“The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) reminded human rights victims under former President Ferdinand Marcos’ martial law to apply and submit documents for compensation,” reports Camille Diola on Philstar.com.
According to HR chairperson Loretta Ann “Etta” Rosales, “martial law claimants may be entitled to recognition and compensation under Republic Act 10368 providing for reparation and recognition of rights violations during the Marcos regime.”
The Human Rights Claims Board will receive and approve claims within the six-month filing period from May 12 to November 10 this year.
Rosales explained that application can be done by the human rights victims themselves. However, for those who were killed or abducted and never seen again, the legal heirs or their representatives may be allowed to file the claims.
