MANILA, Philippines — A bill has been filed at the Senate seeking to expand survivorship benefits to legitimate spouses and dependent children of prosecutors who died in service. 

 

This comes around a month after Assistant City Prosecutor Edilberto Mendoza was shot dead in front of his home in Trece Martires City, Cavite, while he was exercising. He is the 66th lawyer killed under the Duterte administration.

 

Under Senate Bill No. 2487, if a National Prosecution Service (NPS) member dies while in service, their heirs will receive five years' worth of gratuity based on the prosecutor's highest monthly salary and highest monthly aggregate of allowances, regardless of the official's age or length of service.
