A Joint Program Office is to be created, principally directing, supervising, and coordinating implementation by the Ministry of Human Settlements and the Ministry of Natural Resources.

The initial front-end investment is P200 million, provided from the funds of the Human Settlements Development Corporation and/or from the 1983 budgetary allocation of the KKK/Project Development and Management Fund.

It is a presidential administrative issuance that provides implementation details and an operational framework. In hierarchy terms, it operates as an implementing/administrative directive to carry out earlier primary issuances (EO 75, LOI 1306, and Proclamation 2282).
