LEGAZPI CITY, March 2 (PIA) – The parents of the Philippine National Police Special Action Force (PNP-SAF) trooper Max Jim Ramirez Tria, one of the fallen SAF 44 troopers, received recently P20,000 as employees’ compensation funeral benefit through the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) field office in Virac.
Guillermo Tria, 54, and Epigenia, 53, of Virac, Catanduanes, were given the employees’ compensation benefits in behalf of their son was among the police commandos killed in an encounter with some Muslim rebels at Mamasapano, Maguindanao last January 25.
The Employees’ Compensation Commission Regional Extension Unit V (ECC-REU5), together with the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Region 5, sought for Senior Inspector Tria’s beneficiaries following an instruction from Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz.
Baldoz ordered the ECC Regional Extension Units, through ECC Executive Director Stella Zipagan-Banawis, to coordinate with the families of the 44 police commandos and the GSIS branches in their areas.
GSIS Virac Branch Manager Joel Defeo informed ECC-REU5 that they immediately took action in locating the beneficiaries of Tria after the Mamasapano clash.
ECC-REU5 and GSIS officials personally awarded the initial funeral benefit to the parents of the fallen trooper. Defeo and ECC-REU5 will follow up the beneficiaries to gather the necessary documents for the lump sum Employees Compensation (EC) death benefit.
Earlier, the ECC Board signed a resolution directing GSIS to immediately release the disability benefits of the wounded SAF troopers and initial death benefits to the beneficiaries of the fallen 44 SAF troopers.
Baldoz, who heads the ECC Board, expressed that this monetary relief can never equal the gallantry and dedication to service of the PNP SAF Troopers in the Mamasapano Incident.
The ECC is a government-owned and controlled corporation mandated by Presidential Decree No. 626, as amended, otherwise known as the Employees’ Compensation and State Insurance Fund of the Labor Code of the Philippines, to provide meaningful and appropriate compensation to workers and/or their beneficiaries who met work-related sickness, injuries or death.
Uniformed personnel of the Philippine National Police, Armed Forces of the Philippines, Bureau of Jail Management and Penology and Bureau of Fire Protection are still covered by the ECC notwithstanding their exclusion from the coverage of Republic Act No. 8291, otherwise known as the GSIS Law.
