Napolcom Bicol to hasten process of death claims for Bicolano PNP SAF

LEGAZPI CITY, February 3 (PIA) – The National Police Commission (Napolcom) Bicol Regional Office here assures the family of slain Police Senior Inspector Max Jim R. Tria of their full assistance and support to hasten the death benefit claims as Bicolanos join the entire nation in mourning for the so-called “Fallen 44” of the Philippine National Police (PNP) Special Action Force (SAF) who met their tragic fate in Masasapano, Maguindanao recently.

Tria hails from Catanduanes province and a graduate of Philippine National Police Academy in 2009.

“We will extend assistance to the Tria family on their claims in preparing the documentary requirements to hasten the claims process,” Napolcom Bicol Information Officer Ricardo Fontanilla said today in an interview during the “Aramon Ta Daw (Let Us Know)” radio program of the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Bicol.

Fontanilla disclosed the death benefits of PNP beneficiaries include the following: gratuity equivalent to the deceased PNP member’s one year basic salary, burial expenses equivalent to three month’s basic salary of the deceased, monthly pension equivalent to eighty percent of the deceased’s basic salary for a period of five years from the date of death.

“We will also grant scholarship to the children of the deceased,” Fontanilla added.

Further, if a qualified family member opts to join the ranks of the PNP, he or she can be accommodated under the attrition law, Fontanilla said.

Earlier, the government already released P250,000 financial support for each family of the 44 slain PNP troopers and assured educational support for the children or siblings of the deceased, together with livelihood assistance and jobs for the widows and family members, housing assistance and medical assistance to sick relatives.

According to Fontanilla, the death claims will be awarded to the surviving spouse or, if there is none, the surviving legitimate or legally adopted children, or if single to parents.

In the absence of the surviving spouse and dependent legitimate children, the non-dependent legitimate children together with illegitimate children, if any, or if there is none, the surviving parents or in their absence, surviving brothers and sisters of the fallen trooper. (AAN/JJP-PIA5)
