Siniguro ni House Speaker Martin Romualdez sa mga prosecutor o piskal na patuloy na susuportahahan ng Kamara ang pagpapalakas sa National Prosecution Service.
Ginawa ito ng lider ng Kamara sa ginanap na 34th National Convention at 17th National Election of the Prosecutors’ League of the Philippines.
Ani Romualdez, bagamat hindi niya pinili na magsilbi sa loob ng courtroom, bilang isa ring abogado, naiintindihan niya ang disiplina, sakripisyo, at katapangan na kanilang ipinapamalas para sa pagkamit ng hustisya.
“You carry out your mission away from the spotlight, but your work lights the way for a more just society. In cities and in far-flung areas, in high-profile cases and in those known only to victims and their families – you speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. You stand up for the rule of law, and more importantly, for the dignity of every Filipino,” saad niya.
Dahil dito mahalaga na maibigay sa kanila hindi lang basta pagkilala ngunit suporta na kanilang mararamdaman.
Isa na rito ang pinagtibay nila na Survivorship Law for Prosecutors.
“That law closed a painful gap – finally giving the surviving spouses and children of prosecutors the same rights long granted to other members of the justice system. It was the right thing to do. And it was just the beginning,” giit niya.
Kasalukuyan ding itinutulak sa Kamara ang Hazard Pay for Public Prosecutors Act at ang House Bill 117 para maipantay ang sweldo at benepisyo ng mga piskal gaya ng nasa Hudikatura.
“This is not just about compensation—it’s about fairness and respect. Beyond that, the House is reviewing proposals to improve your retirement benefits, security assistance, and logistical support. These are not favors. These are investments in the people who hold the justice system together,” dagdag ng House Speaker.
Paalala pa ng House leader na sa pagbibigay suporta sa ating mga piskal ay pinapalakas natin ang ating demokrasya at pinatatatag ang ating justice system.
“Mga kasama ko sa serbisyo publiko, I know that you did not enter this profession to seek the limelight or the applause. You do what you do because you believe in the law, in justice, and in the good it can do for our country. But let me say this clearly: you are not forgotten. And under our watch, you will no longer be the unsung heroes of the justice system,” wika pa niya. | ulat ni Kathleen Jean Forbes
