THE Philippine Army has set up an express lane for the processing of benefits for soldiers killed in action (KIA).
This was disclosed by Army spokesperson Col. Louie Dema-ala, saying the scheme ensures speedy processing of death benefits for troopers who died in the line of duty.

Dema-ala compared the process in 2023 whereby only four out of 34 applications for KIA benefits were processed due to tedious procedure.
But now, according to Dema-ala, 25 out of 29 applications were already processed and received by the families of fallen soldiers.
This year, 29 soldiers died while performing their duties, Dema-ala said.
