[Title] => Marcos fund already programmed — Obet
[Summary] => Agrarian Secretary Roberto "Obet? M. Pagdanganan said the use of the $683-M (P38-billion) Marcos Swiss deposit has already been programmed.
This statement was issued in reaction to the fear voiced by lawyer Robert Swift, the American lead counsel for the 10,000 human rights victims, that the release of funds intended for the victims might take a snail-pace process. He stressed that the fastest way for the passage of the bill regarding the compensation of the victims, is to require a special commission to work with the United States court.
