IRR for Marawi siege compensation signed

THE Marawi Compensation Board (MCB) has signed the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) for the remuneration of the victims of the Marawi siege.

The IRR was signed in Marawi City on Tuesday, May 23, 2023, or exactly six years after the start of the five-month urban warfare between government troops and Islamic State-aligned radicals who destroyed the core of the country's only Islamic city.
