“I highly encourage the MCB to formulate a five-year roadmap. Yes, Congress can always extend its life, but it is always good to aim high and achieve all the objectives of the board within the time allotted to it,” Hataman said.
He lamented that for the second straight year, the Development and Budget Coordination Committee has allotted only P1 billion for the Marawi Compensation Fund. During the hearing of the joint congressional oversight committee on the Marawi Siege Victims Compensation Act of 2022 last Sept. 11, the MCB said that from July 4 to Aug. 31, it received a total of 4,762 filed claims, which translates to roughly P17.46 billion for claims filed in just two months.“According to the MCB, it receives over 200 claims a day, makes 150 recommendations a week and renders about 600 decisions in a month,” Hataman stated.
