House to insist on compensation bill version in bicam

THE House of Representatives will insist on its approved version of a measure providing compensation to human rights victims during the Marcos regime, a member of the bicameral conference committee said.
House Deputy Speaker Lorenzo Tanada III, the main proponent of the House version, noted that the counterpart bill in the Senate was watered down because the provision on enforced disappearance was deleted.
“How can you tell Edcel that his brother will not be considered a human rights victim because enforced disappearance is removed?” Tanada said referring to Albay Representative Edcel Lagman.
Lagman’s brother, labor lawyer Hermon, was among the victims of enforced disappearances during the Martial Law era under the late strongman Ferdinand Marcos.
Tanada and Lagman are both members of the bicam tasked to reconcile conflicting provisions of the House and Senate versions of the bill. Also part of the House contingent to the bicam are Representatives Neri Colmenares (Bayan Muna), Walden Bello (Akbayan), Mitos Magsaysay (Zambales), Abigail Binay (Makati) and Rene Relamapagos (Bohol).
The Senate also inserted the word “peaceful” in the definition of human rights victims, Tanada said, which the House contingent will strongly oppose.
“This means if you’re not exercising your rights peacefully, you are not considered a human rights victim. We will fight for the House version,” he said.
On December 17, the Senate voted 18-0 to approve on third and final reading Senate Bill 3334 or the “Human Rights Victims Reparation and Recognition Act of 2012.”
During the 9th Asia-Europe Meeting in Laos in November, President Benigno Aquino III himself promised Swiss President Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf that his government would fast-track the process of the release of the compensation to Marcos victims.
The Philippine government needs to pass the compensation bill before the ill-gotten wealth of the Marcoses found in Swiss banks are given to the martial law victims. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)
