SLIDE 5- For the Executive Summary

This policy paper proposed The Policy and Guidelines for Legal Assistance and
Indemnification of BAC Members and its Support Staff. The relevance of BAC and its
functions in the PNP cannot be questioned. However, the BAC members and its staff
are very much prone to facing litigations and actions whether through civil, criminal and
administrative cases in the official performance of their duties. It is in this light that the
researchers of the study came up with this policy in order to address the issues and
problems present in the provision of legal assistance and indemnification to BAC
members and its support staff.

SLIDE 6-

As the researchers of this study, we conducted qualitative interviews through the

use of self-made questionnaires in order to determine the issues and concerns to be
addressed, the process and system of requesting and receiving legal assistance and
indemnification, as well as to know what suggestions and recommendations that BAC-
PNP members can give in order to produce a policy and guidelines which seeks to
adequately provide such assistance.

SLIDE 7-
Based on the interviews conducted show that the main problems that need to be
addressed in the provision of legal assistance and indemnification stems on the need to
expedite the process itself, the need to provide more financial assistance to BAC
members and support staff, conducting training and educating such officers when such
process is amended or when new laws and enactments regarding the same are
implemented. Finally, the interviewees personally believe that an enactment of policies
and guidelines will greatly benefit the not only the BAC members and support staff but
each respective PROs, NSUs and the PNP as a whole.

The aforementioned issues that are present in the PROs and NSUs are what the
researchers intended to address through this policy paper by making recommendations
and drafting a policy to make such process more effective and efficient.

SLIDE 8-

The public procurement law in the Philippines, which according to them tends to
cause delay in project implementation and underspending by the government agencies.

Republic Act No. 9184, otherwise known as the Government Procurement

Reform Act, seeks to ensure transparency and fair play in the process of procurement,
primarily for government procurement but also much used, given its high profile for
private procurement. It is a law that establishes a mindset about bidding and
contracting. However, as of today, no guidelines and policies have yet to be
implemented and institutionalized for the PNPBAC.

SLIDE 9-

To ensure fairness in procurement, the government created agencies and offices

which aim to guarantee that the interest of the government and the people shall be held
in utmost priority. One of which is the Bidding and Awards Committee as they ascertain
that procuring entities shall comply with the eligibility, requirements and qualifications
provided for under the law.

Hence, in the different PROs and NSUs throughout the country, BAC members
and support staff face litigation involving cases of conflict of interest, graft and
corruption, non-performance of duty, gross negligence, or when bidding participants
dispute the results of the bidding procedure.

SLIDE 10-

The law that governs the Bidding and Awards Committee is The 2016 REVISED
IMPLEMENTING RULES AND REGULATIONS OF REPUBLIC ACT NO. 9184,
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE GOVERNMENT PROCUREMENT REFORM ACT

After its promulgation, the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) was
thereafter promulgated pursuant to Section 75 of the said Act, the purpose of which is to
prescribe the necessary rules and regulations for the modernization, standardization,
and regulation of the procurement activities of the government. Subsequently, the IRR
was revised in 2016.

Generally, the law and its subsequent IRRS mandates transparency and
accountability measures to help fight corruption and inefficiency in public procurement.
According to RA 9184, the Bidding and Awards Committee is initially responsible
in ensuring the compliance of prospective bidders and making sure that the biddings to
be held are competent and legal.

The same law provides for the functions of the committee which centers in
ensuring that the procuring entity abides by the standards set forth under the law.

SLIDE 11-

Moreover, PNP Memorandum Circular No. 2012-LS-001 entitled Procedures

Governing Direct Legal Representation Under the Legal Assistance Program of the
PNP provides that it is the policy of the PNP to provide legal assistance to all PNP
uniformed personnel with service-connected cases. The same Memorandum Circular
also lays down the procedure and guidelines to be followed regarding the same.
 Based on the foregoing, the responsibility of the BAC to the people is to ensure
that they perform their official functions with necessary due diligence, and that they
remain faithful to the performance of their duties. With this, it can be inferred that their
functions are broad and technical enough to make them susceptible in receiving
lawsuits in the performance of its lawful duties.

SLIDE 12- Statement of the Problem

This policy paper addressed the concerns and problems being experienced by
the BAC members and staff in relation to the provision of their right to free legal
assistance and indemnification as provided for by the law. Specifically, it shall answer
the following questions:

1. What is the process of availing legal assistance and indemnification?

2. What are the concerns being experienced by the BAC members and staff
in attaining legal assistance and indemnification?
3. What specific policies and guidelines must be established to address such
issues and concerns?

SLIDE 13- Relevance of the Study

This paper aims to understand the current problems and issues concerning the
system to provide legal aid and assistance as well as indemnification to members and
support staff of BAC. Consequently, the findings generated in this study may provide
significant benefits to the following groups or individuals:

1. The BAC members and support staff.

As previously mentioned, BAC members and support staff are prone to

receiving law suits and cases filed against them in the performance of their
duties. This study shall be helpful in determining how to solve the present
problems that need to be addressed concerning legal aid and assistance. With
this, such public officials would not be apprehensive in doing their lawful duties
and they need not be worried about financial concerns if a case shall be filed
against them because the government shall address the same.

2. The lawyers of BAC members and support staff.

The findings of this paper shall also be beneficial to lawyers to serve as
private counsels to BAC members and support staff as the policies to be
implemented shall stimulate a more effective and better working relationship
between the parties.

3. The community.

This research as well as the proposed guidelines and policies, if

implemented, shall benefit the community and the public in general since the
provision of legal assistance and indemnification to BAC members and support
staff are one of the factors that may encourage the faithful performance of their
duties in public office. This, in turn, shall ensure a fair, legal, and corrupt free
system of procurement.

SLIDE 14- Scope and Limitation

The purpose of this paper is to formulate a memorandum circular that will set
forth the policies and guidelines for legal assistance and indemnification of BAC
members and its support staff.

No other used instruments were used aside from the self-devised interview
questionnaire that was utilized for data gathering.

The participants in this paper are only limited to PNP and BAC members who are
knowledgeable about the process of receiving legal assistance. The participants were
from the vicinity of the researchers which are PRO1, PRO3, NCRPO, SAF, HS, CES
and AVESEGROUP specifically, four each PROs and NSUs.

Since the methods of this study is through focused group discussion, it cannot
necessarily be generalizable to the population, unless such issues and concerns are
also present in such departments.

SLIDE 15- Methodologies (and like I have mentioned a while ago why we utilized the
qualitative method)

The present study utilizes Qualitative Descriptive Design, the primary aim of
which is to provide an accurate description of an event and the importance a subject
applies to the event (Holly, 2019). The goal to be achieved in this design is to provide a
comprehensive summarization, in everyday terms, of specific events experienced by
individuals or group of individuals. In addition to this, another goal is to obtain cases
deemed rich information for the purpose of saturating the data available. Qualitative
Descriptive study is a widely cited research tradition and has been identified as
important and appropriate for research questions focused on discovering the who, what,
and where of events or experiences as well as gaining insights from informants
regarding a phenomenon which is understood poorly.

Data Collection

Data collection of qualitative descriptive studies focuses on discovering the

nature of the specific events under study. Thus, data collection involves minimal to
moderate, structured, open-ended, individual or focus group interviews.

In this paper, however, researchers decided to interview persons concerned and

knowledgeable with the legal assistance and indemnification of BAC members and staff
by sending out interview questionnaires to such officers.

Sampling

The study utilized purposive sampling which is commonly employed in qualitative

studies, which has been described as being useful for obtaining broad insights and rich
information. Furthermore, since focus group discussion is being used in this study, data
is obtained from a purposely selected group of individuals rather than from a statistically
representative sample of a broader population.

Researchers of the study made use of the following criteria to select potential
respondents:

As to BAC members or support staff:

a. BAC members or support staff who faced or are currently facing lawsuits that are filed
in relation to the performance of their official duties;

b. Has knowledge and experience about legal assistance provided to BAC members or
support staff

SLIDE 16-

Data Gathering Procedure

Researchers of this study conducted a made use of a semi-structured interview

guide prepared by the researchers and validated by experts in the field of research.

(For the information, sirs and ma’am, we attached said written consent or
interview guide together with the questionnaire at the submitted folders)

Data analysis
 Data analysis of qualitative descriptive research, does not use a pre-existing set
of rules that have been generated from the philosophical or epistemological stance of
the discipline that created the specific qualitative research approach. Rather, qualitative
descriptive research is purely data-derived in that codes are generated from the data in
the course of the study.

 Semi-structured interview guide was used.

 Data gathered were transcribed, coded and themed using thematic
analyses.
 Ethics on research was observed.

SLIDE 17- Discussion

Based on the interviews conducted, the researchers of this study were able to gather
sufficient data and information not only regarding the process but also the issues and
problems that need to be addressed.

Process of Availment of Legal Assistance and Indemnification.

Most interviewees are not knowledgeable about the process because their
headquarters/Office have yet to experience availing such a program as no cases have
been filed against BAC or its support staff.

However, any BAC member or support staff may apply for legal assistance when:
 a notice from the Prosecutor Office, the Court, or any tribunal, was received by
him/her. after which,
 a determination must be made if the participation of such officer is a work-related
case.
 Thereafter, the case shall be either referred to the Legal service for legal
representation, or an assistance of a private lawyer may also be availed of.
 After the resolution of the case comes the indemnification of legal fees

SLIDE 18- The following issues and problems were identified:

Process of Availing of Legal Assistance and Indemnification.

The offices involved in the process of providing legal assistance and
indemnification to BAC members and its support staff are:
1. Head of Procuring Entity
2. Legal Service
3. Regional Comptroller Division
4. Regional Logistics Division

SLIDE 19-

Issues and Problems that Need to be Addressed

1. The problems arise not only in the indemnification and the assistance itself, but
the staff and the members are having difficulties regarding the sufficiency of the
assistance being provided.
2. The Honoraria which is supposed to cover fees for the legal assistance, such is
not enough considering the risk that such members are into.
3. Insufficient or No Funding. No funding source for any legal assistance,
especially if they opt to their private lawyers instead of the PNP Legal Service

SLIDE 20- Issues and Problems that need to be Addressed

4. Assistance may be said to be sufficient during the initial stage of the litigation but does
not endure up to the end.
5.There is a need for continuing education
6. There is a need for timely assistance.
 7. Most importantly, the interviewees emphasize the importance of formulation
and implementation of MC which lays down the guidelines and policies regarding
the legal assistance and indemnification of BAC members and its support staff.

SLIDE 21-

The following conclusions can be drawn:

• Although there is provision of legal assistance and indemnification, the issues
and problems concerning the same involves the following:
1. That such provision is at times present only at the initial stage, but not at
the latter part.
2. That some members and staff lack education and training on the process
of acquiring legal assistance and indemnification as well as the guidelines,
rules and regulations and other enactments implemented regarding the
same.
3. That some PROs lack assistance in terms of facility since they have no
office intended for such function.
4. That the assistance and indemnification can be delayed and long drawn
out.
5. That at most, what the BAC members and support staff need is financial
assistance since legal assistance is adequately provided.
That there is a need to craft policy guidelines for all the BACs to adhere to regarding the
availment of the aforementioned programs and that this should be institutionalized
within the PNP as required by law

SLIDE 22- For the Conclusion and Recommendation

• Finally, the researchers of this paper suggest the following recommendations:

1. That there must be a continuous or regular education and training
regarding the availing of legal assistance and indemnification.
2. That concerned offices must adhere to the time frame or prescribed period
provided by law wherein legal assistance and indemnification are
supposed to be given in order to expedite the process.
3. Failure to adhere to the same without any valid reason should give rise to
civil or administrative liability.
4. That each PRO and NSU should be provided an office to conduct its
functions in relation to processing requests for legal assistance and
indemnification. If the same is not feasible, at least an adequate storage
space to store its documents and papers should be provided.
by law.
