Former employees of state-run National Power Corporation (NPC) who were retrenched due to its privatization roughly two decades ago will finally get their back wages, as underpinned by a Supreme Court ruling on the Drivers and Mechanics Association (DAMA) case; that was also subsequently affirmed by the Commission on Audit.
NPC President and CEO Pio J. Benavidez announced through the media that “the payment of claims shall be on alphabetical basis,” and according to the batches as validated by COA.
It has to be noted that NPC’s successor-company Power Sector Assets and Liabilities Management Corporation (PSALM) earmarked P3.702 billion for claims of the dismissed NPC employees that have been covered in the DAMA case.

Victor Ziga, John Osmeña, and Dante Jimenez were truly great men in their own right. When I learned last week that they had passed away one after the other, I knew our country had lost outstanding Filipinos whose legacy of public service was indeed remarkable.
All three were dear to me as they touched my life one way or the other. Ziga and Osmeña were my former colleagues in the Senate during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Jimenez, as we all know, was a prominent anti-crime advocate, apparently the nation’s staunchest crusader against high crimes and corruption.
