The House leadership has been urged to prioritize the passage of a bill seeking to provide support for the surviving spouses and children of judges, justices and other judiciary officials who are killed intentionally while in the line of duty.

Deputy Speaker and Batangas Rep. Raneo Abu made the call after the murder of Tagudin, Ilocos Sur Regional Trial Court Branch 25 Judge Mario Anacleto Bañez in Barangay Mameltac, San Fernando City, La Union last week.

Citing the Amnesty International, the House leader said some 22 judges have been killed in the Philippines from 1999 to 2012, which means two judges are being killed annually. Abu’s bill provides that when a Justice or judge is killed intentionally while in service, the presumption is that the death is work-related, regardless of the number of years served in government or the judiciary, the surviving spouse and the surviving children of the slain judge or Justice, shall be entitled to receive a monthly pension during the residue of his/her natural life
