Sen. Ronald dela Rosa reiterated that the proposed collection of monthly pension premiums from active members of the military and other uniformed personnel could lead to the “collapse” of the country’s law enforcement and security sectors. |MRamosINQ /PDI
The TWG said the government would supplement the MUP contributions so that the monthly premium would total 21 percent—16 percent to those in the active service and 12 percent to the new entrants. This will bring their total monthly premium to the same level as all other state employees.
Dela Rosa said he had been getting text messages from soldiers and policemen informing him that they were already preparing to file for early retirement. While he acknowledged the government’s fiscal predicament, Dela Rosa stressed that it was equally important to prioritize the welfare of state security agents.“Between fiscal collapse and the weakening of national security and defense, and law enforcement due to the mass exodus , as lawmakers we must find a balance between the two,” he said.Sen.
Diokno has been adamant in requiring mandatory contributions from uniformed personnel to avert a “fiscal collapse” of the pension system. As to Sen. Francis Escudero’s view that compelling servicemen to pay pension premiums was a “bitter pill to swallow,” Dela Rosa insisted that the government should give lawmakers and MUPs more time to study the proposal.
Consultations over the previous several weeks involved personnel from the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the Philippine Air Force, the Presidential Security Group, and the PNP.
