FOURTEENTE €ONGRESS OF THE } 
KZi‘UBLIiG OF THE i’EGUFi’X<B j 
Second Regular Session 
) 
Introduced by Senator Antonio Usonny” F. Tritkanes IV 
Members of the Philippine National Police (PNP) are tasked everyday in ensuring public 
safety and providing a peaceful mvironnnent for everyom. They are among ow first h e  
of defense against critninais. Their work entails them to ‘be in dangerous piaces and do 
dangerous works to preserve the peace and quiet of our community. 
Aside fi.om the usaal peril that their wark demands, UUT police are also ill-eqmpped. 
They, most of the times, have inadequate equipment to rtght off criminal elements who 
are equipped with weapons that are more technologically advanced than what they use. 
Such situation increases the risks that our policemen face everyday. 
The lack of budget in the PNP limits the equipment available to our police, it does not 
however limit their capability to fulfill their duties effectively. They put their lives on the 
line everyday. Oftentimes, when an unfortunate incident OCCUTS, such as death, or 
injuries, the families and Ioved ones ofthese oiXcers are the ones who wodd suffer. 
This bill seeks to provide financial assistance to families of policemen who perished, got 
injured, or disabled while in the line of duty. Although the amount to be given may not be 
big enough to compensate for the life of a loved one, it is hoped that the additional 
insurance will somehow help cushion the impact of the demise of their Ioved ones. 
In view of the foregoing, immediate approval of this measure is earnestly sought.
