De Santos said few things had changed three years after the court handed down the decision on the case in December 2019, convicting 43 of the 48 accused—28 of the principals, among them eight members of the Ampatuan clan including Andal Jr., and 15 accessories.
At least 83 more accused are still at large but Malacañang has promised that the government will not forget the case, De Santos said. “Until there is a final conviction, we cannot say that we have received justice. And part of that justice is the compensation for the families who lost their loved ones on Nov. 23, 2009,” he added.Santos said they were still awaiting the decision of the Court of Appeals on their appeal to increase the damages for each of the slain media worker to at least P500,000 to give dignity for the slain victims.
