Question & AnswerQ&A (PROCLAMATION NO. 10)
The main purpose of Proclamation No. 10 is to place under the administration of the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines the portions of the Camp Parang Military Reservation retained for military purposes located in Parang, Cotabato.
Proclamation No. 10 was signed by Ramon Magsaysay in his capacity as the President of the Philippines.
The portion of the Camp Parang Military Reservation containing 899.1001 hectares, reserved for townsite purposes under Proclamation No. 132, series of 1949, is excluded from the administration under the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
The proclamation covers portions of the Camp Parang Military Reservation situated in the municipality of Parang, Province of Cotabato, Island of Mindanao.
The Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines is designated to administer the retained military portions of Camp Parang Military Reservation.
The exclusion means that the townsite portion reserved under Proclamation No. 132, series 1949, will not be administered by the Armed Forces as it is reserved for civil/townsite purposes, not military use.
Proclamation No. 132, series of 1949, relates to and reserved the 899.1001 hectares portion of the military reservation for townsite purposes.
The date of effect (March 17, 1954) marks when the administration of the specified military reservation portions officially transferred to the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
The Executive Secretary, Fred Ruiz Castro in this case, acted as a signatory by the President to authenticate and execute the proclamation.
