Ben Tulfo Advocates Life Insurance for Barangay Volunteers
Ben Tulfo advocates for life insurance coverage for barangay volunteers, highlighting their vital role in community service and disaster response. He calls on lawmakers to institutionalize financial protection for these frontline workers.
MANILA, Philippines — Broadcaster and public servant Ben Tulfo has called for the provision of life insurance for barangay volunteers, recognizing their crucial role in community service and disaster response.
Tulfo emphasized that barangay tanods, health workers, and other community volunteers often face risks in their line of duty but lack proper protection. He urged lawmakers and local government units to institutionalize a life insurance program to ensure financial security for volunteers and their families in case of accidents or unforeseen incidents.
"These barangay volunteers are our first responders during emergencies, and they deserve protection," Tulfo stated. "Providing them with life insurance is a way of recognizing their dedication and sacrifice for the community."
The proposal has received support from various sectors, including barangay officials and advocacy groups, who believe it will boost morale and encourage more individuals to engage in public service.
