QuestionsQuestions (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 788)
Presidential Decree No. 560 (Sept. 23, 1974) prescribed P2,500.00 as initial clothing allowance and P150.00 semestral maintenance allowance for each PMA cadet, and P1,500.00 as initial clothing allowance for each PAFFS cadet.
It is given in kind.
The Minister of National Defense, upon recommendation of the Chief of Staff, AFP, shall prescribe the clothing items and their quantities.
It is provided upon appointment as a cadet of the PMA or the PAFFS.
It provides a clothing maintenance allowance in cash to cover laundry, repair, and other costs to maintain uniforms.
Not less than One Hundred Pesos (P100.00) a month.
The Minister of National Defense, upon recommendation of the Chief of Staff, AFP, shall prescribe the allowance.
PD 560 used a semestral clothing maintenance allowance (P150.00). EO 788 provides a monthly cash allowance (at least P100.00 a month) instead.
Laundry, repair, and other costs to maintain the presentability and prolong the usefulness of the clothing items.
The funds needed shall be charged against the Annual Appropriations of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
Yes. Section 5 provides that all rules, regulations, and other issuances or parts thereof in conflict with EO 788 are hereby repealed or modified accordingly.
It takes effect upon approval.
It means the Minister of National Defense must act based on the recommended input of the Chief of Staff, AFP, before prescribing the clothing items/quantities and the allowance details.
It provides a policy justification for shifting to an approach that sets clearer administrative rules (clothing in kind and a monthly cash maintenance allowance) rather than repeatedly adjusting fixed old rates due to price increases.
