ACE Party-List Ist nominee Officer Erwin Culanag, a US- trained law enforcer has rolled up his sleeves to serve as the voice of the security officers , jail guards and barangay tanods in the 20th Congress next year.
ACE will also work for the enactment of laws on multiple retirement system and the rationalization of policies in the management of our country’s jails and penitentiaries.
It will also work for the establishment of cooperatives and put in place insurance coverages to the security sector.
ACE Party-List Founding Chairman and 1st nominee Erwin Culanag plans to put up credit cooperatives on a nation-wide scale for security guards, tanods, fire and safety officers to ease their financial burden brought about by low wages and meager benefits and get rid of loan sharks, those moneylenders
who charge extremely high rates of interest, typically under illegal conditions.
As the voice of law enforcers in Congress, ACE Party-List will work in safeguarding the rights and privileges of security guards, tanods and AFP/PNP retirees.
