A group of retired policemen has sought the help of the Senate in reinstituting the “death and disability benefits” for former members of the police force, which the Philippine National Police has reportedly ceased to provide allegedly because it violates the double compensation rule.
Henrick Dacuyan, who represented the group of retirees and survivors, said their members have ceased receiving the death and disability benefits from the PNP since January 2020 after their grant was transferred to the National Police Commission , whose chairman is the Secretary of the Department of the Interior and Local Government and the chief of the PNP as one of its members.
Both Dela Rosa and Dacuyan, however, believed that the benefits given separately by the PNP and Napolcom do not violate rules and regulations since they were accorded under separate laws, that of RA 8551 and PD 1184. Montawal was the third local official ambushed in a span of a week after gunmen also separately fired earlier on the convoy of Lanao del Sur Governor Mamintal Adiong in Lanao del Sur and Aparri, Cagayan Vice Mayor Rommel Alameda in Nueva Vizcaya.
