less than 10K USD for a life ???

In an interview with ABS-CBN, Cadungog said that the P450,000 in financial assistance would be separate from whatever benefits the families would receive for their loved ones’ military service.

>>

If my deduction is right, it is apart from other benefits, the families receive.

Atleast in the part of asia where i have worked, it is normal for the government to pay some form of monetory contribution ASAP, while the process to work out the military benefits, such as insurance coverage, double indemnity, etc. takes a longer time. And the court of enquiry will determine the additional amount to paid - sometimes.

I sincerely hope so, as the South Asian countries have as similiar payout for death while on duty.
