MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Malaca\u00f1ang on Wednesday assured that the government is not slowing down on its efforts to recover billions worth of ill-gotten wealth stolen from the country by former president and strongman Ferdinand Marcos and his cronies.<\/p>\n

\u201cEfforts to recover any ill-gotten wealth continue through the Philippine Commission on Good Government (PCGG),\u201d Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said in a press statement.<\/p>\n

Roque said human rights victims have also been given compensation through the Human Rights Victims\u2019 Claims Board (HRVCB).<\/p>\n

Moreover, he said the government will continue to find ways and means \u201cto effect closure for all victims of abuses that occurred during that period of martial law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roque made this remark after Ilocos Norte Governor Imee Marcos, the late dictator\u2019s daughter, urged her family\u2019s critics to \u201cmove on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ilocos Norte governor stressed the need to move forward because the conflict between the Marcoses and the Aquinos had \u201chappened a long time ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

She made this remark during the 35th death anniversary of the late senator Benigno \u201cNinoy\u201d Aquino Jr., a staunch critic of Marcos. Aquino\u2019s assassination inspired the People Power Revolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand that Governor Imee Marcos is addressing the critics of her family,\u201d Roque said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs far as we are concerned, the Duterte administration is willing to work with all groups for the benefit of the people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Roque emphasized that Duterte has \u201copened the doors\u201d to everyone — regardless of affiliation and ideology — to \u201cunite the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duterte, who previously described Marcos as the country\u2019s best president, is a known friend of the Marcos family.<\/p>\n

He granted the late president\u2019s burial with full military honors at the Libingan ng mga Bayani on Nov. 18, 2016 despite protests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
