Question & AnswerQ&A (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 192)
Executive Order No. 192 dated November 12, 1965, is an order that creates, opens, and establishes the Port of Pasacao as a subport of entry within the collection district of the Port of Jose Panganiban, Camarines Norte.
The Port of Pasacao was created under the provisions of Section 702 of Republic Act No. 1937 pursuant to the recommendation of the Secretary of Finance.
Being a subport of entry means that the Port of Pasacao is authorized to be a point where imported and exported goods can be officially processed, but it operates within the collection district of another main port, in this case, the Port of Jose Panganiban.
The Port of Pasacao belongs to the collection district of the Port of Jose Panganiban, Camarines Norte.
The Executive Order No. 192 was signed by Diosdado Macapagal as the President of the Philippines.
The Executive Order was signed by Salvador L. Mariao as the Acting Executive Secretary.
Republic Act No. 1937 is also known as the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act, which includes provisions on the establishment, operation, and administration of ports, including subports of entry under the collection district system.
A collection district is a designated geographic area assigned to a specific port where customs duties and taxes are collected on imported and exported goods.
The Secretary of Finance recommends the creation, opening, or establishment of new ports or subports of entry as part of the regulatory process under Philippine customs law.
Establishing a subport of entry facilitates local trade by providing additional points for customs processing and can lead to improved efficiency in the handling of imported and exported goods within that region.
