Today, we celebrate an important milestone in our nation’s history—the establishment of the Marawi Compensation Board, as provided under Republic Act No. 11696, titled “An act providing compensation for the loss or destruction of properties and loss of lives as a result of the 2017 Marawi Siege, and appropriating funds therefor.” This momentous occasion signifies our unwavering commitment to restore the lives of our brothers and sisters affected by the tragic events that unfolded in Marawi City.
The Marawi Compensation Board has been entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring the just and fair distribution of compensation to the victims. Its mandate is to uphold their rights and provide the necessary support for them to rebuild their lives. It stands as a testament to our commitment to justice, human rights, and the well-being of our fellow citizens. It is a monument that assures Marawi and its plight will never be forgotten.
I assure you that the Marawi Compensation Board, composed of dedicated individuals with expertise in various relevant fields, will work tirelessly to ensure the efficient, fair, and sensitive implementation of the compensation process. They understand the needs and rights of the affected individuals and communities and are committed to addressing them.
In addition to our role in overseeing the implementation of the compensation act, our efforts have earned us the esteemed position of Chairmanship of the Ad Hoc Committee on Marawi Rehabilitation. This pivotal committee bears the responsibility of overseeing all legislative matters pertaining to the meticulous and strategic reconstruction of Marawi City—a symbol of resilience and hope in the face of adversity.
