INCREASING THE CASH BENEFIT UNDER THE SUGAR WORKERS DEATH BENEFIT PROGRAM
 
     .

Pursuant to Republic Act No. 6982 or the Sugar Amelioration Act of 1991 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations, the five percent (5%) portion of the lien collected from every picul of raw sugar produced shall be allocated for the Sugar Workers Death Benefit Fund (SWDBF). The said fund shall be utilized to defray the cost of funeral and related expenses payable to the beneficiaries of the deceased covered sugar worker.

The Sugar Tripartite Council (STC) recognizing the current high cost of funeral and related expenses, and after thorough assessment of the current SWDBF balance, projected fun collections and disbursement as presented bye the Bureau of Rural Workers, has established the viability of upgrading the benefit and has therefore endorsed the grant of an increase in the death benefit.

IN VIEW THEREOF, it is hereby ordered that the death benefit intended for sugar workers shall be increased from P6,000.00 to P7,000.00. Application of the increase in death benefit shall be paid the death benefit equivalent to P7,000.00 per claim.

Issued this 14th day of June 2001, at Manila, Philippines.
