The HRVVMC was created in 2013 to grant reparations and recognition for the victims of martial law. The commission is also looking forward to the construction of a martial law museum within the grounds of University of the Philippines. The said museum, he said, hopes to serve as a concrete reminder of the horrors endured by martial law victims, and would contain memorabilia from important figures during the era.
