The Department of Justice says there must be a new law adjusting the rates of compensation for injury, disability, and death benefits for horse trainers and jockeys employed by the Philippine Racing Commission .
The opinion was sought by PHILRACOM chairman Aurelio De Leon who asked if the commission could adjust the present rates found to have been outdated and no longer responsive to the current conditions considering that Republic Act 6115 that created the fund was signed into law on Aug. 4, 1969. Pascasio said “neither PHILRACOM nor the OP has the authority to adjust or change the schedule of rates provided under RA 6115….”“Updating or adjusting the schedule of rates or compensation provided for in RA 6115 is considered an amendment or alteration of an existing law,” he said.
