Those who were killed in action will receive a Command Special Financial Assistance which will include the sum of their base pay, hazard pay and bonuses; a funeral service support amounting to PhP80,000; and monthly pension based on rank and length of service.

Their beneficiaries will also receive support under the Office of the President’s Comprehensive Social Benefits Program which include Special Financial Assistance worth PhP500,000; and shelter, health, education and employment assistance.

“No amount can ever replace the lives of our brave comrades who paid the ultimate sacrifice in line of their duty to protect our people and the state. Extending financial assistance to their families and loved ones is the least that we can do for the invaluable services they have rendered to our country,” AFP Chief of Staff General Sobejana said.

Wounded in action personnel on the other hand will receive full reimbursement of hospitalization expenses, and special financial assistance from the Office of the President worth PhP250,000 for major injury and PhP100,000 for minor injury.

Meanwhile, the Armed Forces and Police Mutual Benefits Association, Inc. gave PhP12,000 each to the wounded personnel while cash advance release are being processed for those who were killed.

Each of the wounded will also receive PhP10,000 as approved by Philippine Army Commander Major General Andres Centino, and PhP15,000 from the 11th Infantry Division.

Former Governor and now Sulu Vice Governor Abdusakur Mahail Tan also pledged PhP15,000 each for the wounded and PhP30,000 for the families of the soldiers killed in action.

“The AFP honors our members who perished in the ill-fated C-130 crash in Sulu. Their memories will live on not only in their families but throughout the military organization who continues to risk everything to achieve just and lasting peace for our nation,” General Sobejana said.-PR
