THE proponent of the pension reform for military and uniformed personnel (MUP) has said police personnel will benefit the most from the changes, especially those who are permanently disabled and survivors of those who are killed in action.

House Ways and Means Committee chairman and Albay 2nd District Rep. Jose Maria Clemente 'Joey' Salceda said benefits given to Philippine National Police personnel under the MUP pension reform bill has been 'long overdue' and recognizes the fact that policing remains a high-risk occupation 'even when the PNP has moved to civilian control and supervision.'
