Hope for RA 1616 retirees
Over a thousand state auditors and numerous more from other government offices, who retired under Republic Act 1616, were pinning their hopes for an additional monthly pension under a Senate bill filed by Senator Chiz Escudero more than a decade ago. Their hopes were unfortunately overtaken by the “holocaust” in the fiscal administration in the Philippines from 2011 to 2014. With the minds of DBM Secretary Florencio Abad and those of some lawmakers in turmoil, over the “kahindik-hindik” (disgusting) audit report on their pork barrel, the bill went nowhere. But today, with a silver lining in every sector of government, there is hope the Escudero bill could move toward approval. During the 16th Congress, Senator Escudero introduced Senate Bill 588: “An Act to Grant Monthly Pension to Government Retirees under R.A. 1616 Who Have Reached the Age of Seventy Years.” Here were the bill’s features: Section I. Declaration of Policy – The Constitution provides that the State shall occasionally review to upgrade the pensions and other benefits due to retirees of both the government and private sectors. As far as possible, it should provide those who have less in life the opportunity to earn a living so that they may play a more active role in social life, especially in the economic and political spheres. It is the duty of the State to create conditions that are necessary to realize the right of all citizens, particularly the underprivileged, to equal opportunity. To this end, the State shall grant a Monthly Pension to government retirees who have availed of retirement benefits under Republic Act No. 1616. Senator Escudero was pushing for this bill. He said government pensioners are provided a gratuity under RA 1616, but the law that was enacted in 1957 could no longer sufficiently provide for the needs of the government retirees five years after the retirement age of 65. “The proposal recognizes that the majority of this class of retirees have been living in abject poverty, and many of them have to depend on close relatives and friends. Aged government personnel who retired need monthly pensions because, at their late age, their opportunities for earning are almost nil,” Escudero said. “The lump sum they received under RA 1616 was greatly eroded by the economic slump and high cost of living. Their economic difficulties were aggravated when the country suffered from the devastating effects of natural calamities,” he added. Under SB 588, the gratuity is payable by the last employer. The employee is also entitled to a refund of the retirement premiums he paid to the GSIS, his personal share with interest, and the government share without interest. The requirements to qualify are: (1) the retirees must be in government service on or before 31 May 1977; (2) has rendered at least 20 years of service regardless of age and employment status; and (3) his/her last three years of service before retirement must be continuous, except in cases of death, disability, abolition or phase out of position due to reorganization.
