American counsel for the 9,539 Filipino human rights victims are encouraged by recent rulings in the litigation over $35 million of Marcos assets at Merrill Lynch in New York. The New York Court has recognized that the HR victims are first in time to execute on the money and have ordered Merrill Lynch to deposit the money into court. Efforts by the Republic to delay the proceeding have been rebuffed by the New York Court. No date for a final hearing has been set. If the HR victims are successful, their American counsel will expedite a distribution of compensation to them.
