SB 772
Senate·20th Congress·Filed Jul 31, 2025
Mohammad Said Act
An Act Amending Republic Act No. 7309, 'an Act Creating a Board of Claims Under the Department of Justice for Victims of Unjust Imprisonment or Detention and Victims of Violent Crimes and for Other Purposes'
In plain language
The Mohammad Said Act would let people who were wrongly detained because they were mistaken for someone else claim money from the government. The amount would be based on how many months they were held, with any part‑month counted as a full month, and the payment would be updated for inflation every three years. Funding would start with a ₱10 million seed, plus yearly contributions from a portion of PAGCOR’s earnings, proceeds from the sale of former military camps, and a ₱50 surcharge on every civil‑case filing.
