Apart from this, Ms. Szai Reyes also pointed out that the terminal leave for 2014, benefits and any other financial assistance from the Municipality of Pangil, Laguna has not been given yet. It is said that the cases filed against Mayor Jovit by his political rivals is the main reason as to why the deceased Mayor was not able to claim his benefits since 2014.

"HUMANITARIAN CONSIDERATION, karapatang pang tao at paglaban sa kung ano ang dapat at tama.
Ngayon lang po ako magsasalita regarding sa pagkamatay ng aking ama Jovit G. Reyes. Mga issues na hinaharap namin at nilalabanan. Tulungan nyo po kami maipaglaban ang karapatan na ito. Dahil kung po sa pamilya ng isang naging mayor na ay nangyayari ang ganito, paano na po kaya ang mga mamayan natin na walang katungkulan at normal lang na mamamayan, mga walang kakayanan lumaban. Lumaban po si daddy para maibigay ang pantay at tapat na pagkalinga sa lahat at hindi po kami papyag na ngayon ito ay ipinagkakait mismo sa aming pamilya." - Szai Reyes
