The House Committee on Justice passed, as amended and subject to style and corresponding committee report thereof, on Wednesday, Feb. 8, a proposed measure providing hazard pay for court judges because of the “high risk” nature of their work that put them and their family members in harm’s way.
“During the 18th Congress, all of the first-level courts were included, so I would agree and affirm there is really a need to include all,” Gonzaga replied. Batangas 2nd district Rep. Gerville Luistro was the first to raise the issue of the inclusion of MTC judges in the proposed measure because they are likewise “exposed to the same peril as RTC judges.”
Judge Jaime Santiago cited a report by Amnesty International about how “Philippine judges are among those at risk of assassination because of the very nature of our job.”
