There were 20 reported injuries suffered by jockeys in 2022, but they were not provided compensation from the Jockeys and Horse Trainers Injury, Disability, and Death Compensation Fund.
MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Audit found out that horse racing jockeys and horse trainers who sustained work-related injuries have been unable to utilize a welfare fund of over P80 million.
The compensation fund tallied a ready cash of P80.136 million, but only 2.83% of that, or P2.27 million, was used in 2022. The jockeys’ failure to apply for compensation is believed to stem from what is perceived are outdated rates of the compensation fund. Meanwhile, those who are hospitalized due to illness or accident connected with their work will only get a measly P500.
