EXPLANATORY NOTE 
In the past, a number of govenunent employees have been harmed, and worse, killed in 
pursuance of their duties. More often than not, the families of the deceased have been 
unable to afford their departed relatives a decent burial, to say the least. Thus, it is only 
fitting that they be provided compensation for the risks connected with their duties. 
This bill is being proposed in order to provide all officials and employees of the 
government a hazard pay especially in cases where they are assigned to hazardous, 
isolated and inaccessible areas, x-ray units, institutions that care for the mentally 
deranged, places that are subject to depredation by criminal elements, plants and 
installations of the arsenal, aboard aircrafts and watercrafts in crossing bodies of water 
and other similar situations. 
In view of the foregoing, the immediate passage ofthis measure is earnestly requested.
