AFP-CRS: AFP statement in response to the article published by philippine star titled “AFP called out for measly assistance to Marawi troops"

Posted to the Armed Forces of the Philippines-Civil Relations Service (AFP-CRS) Facebook Page (Jul 4, 2019): AFP statement in response to the article published by philippine star titled “AFP called out for measly assistance to Marawi troops"

“The AFP has existing policies governing the distribution of financial assistance to casualties before the Siege of Marawi. But the fund at issue is not an allocation to the AFP budget; it is from accumulated cash donations from benevolent individuals when the Marawi conflict broke out. The amounts received were on account of the wounds incurred, the length of stay in the hospital, ad the amount available at the time. The amount of donations started from zero and gradually accumulated. The recipients of 80,000 and 90,000 sustained the most serious injuries since they were confined longer in the hospital at the time that donations had reached its peak.”
