CONGRESSMEN will debate proposed changes to a bill seeking to reform the pension system for the Philippine military and police, including fully indexing pensions to the salary increases of active personnel and exempting all active members from making contributions, according to Albay Rep. Jose Maria Clemente S. Salceda.
This comes after Defense Secretary Gilberto C. Teodoro, Jr. objected to key provisions of the military and uniformed personnel (MUP) pension reform bill that was approved by a House ad hoc committee last week.
