Estrada introduces MUP pension reforms: Sen. Jinggoy Ejercito Estrada seeks the support of his colleagues for the passage of Senate Bill 2501 which seeks to provide a new separation, retirement, and pension system for new entrants in the military and the uniformed service. Estrada, during the plenary session on Monday, December 04, 2023, noted that the proposed measure balances the interest of the economic managers, concerning the tight fiscal limitations and honors the constitutional mandate of the military, recognizing the peculiar nature of the work of uniformed personnel whose lives are always at great risk. “I trust that the Senate under the leadership of our Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri has the political will and firm resolve to squarely face and settle this once and for all,” said Estrada, chairperson of the Senate Committee on National Defense and Security, Peace, Unification, and Reconciliation.
