FOR THE PURPOSE SECTION TWENTY-TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY-THREE OF THE

rendering unselfish service to the community without compensation, and

position invites greater risk to their lives; WHEREAS, there are at present operating in the Philippines insurance companies against accidents issuing policies with face value of P1,000 upon the payment of the premium of P3 per annum; and WHEREAS, to compensate the valuable services of barrio lieutenants and to afford and to their surviving families in case of death through unnatural causes, and since the Government is not in a position financially to give due compensation to these humble servants of the people, at least a palliative in the form of an accident policy must be obtained for them by the municipal council in any insurance company; Now, therefore. Section 1. Section twenty-two hundred and forty-three
of the Administrative Code, as amended, is further amended by adding at
