Question & AnswerQ&A (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 103)
The Office of the President has the authority to give prior approval before any national government properties can be advertised or bidded for sale or lease.
No, the order specifically excludes lands sold or leased under the Public Land Act from its coverage.
All properties belonging to the national government, except for lands sold or leased under the Public Land Act, are covered by this order.
The properties must be advertised or bidded for sale or lease only upon prior approval from the Office of the President.
Although the order does not specify penalties, as it mandates prior approval for advertising or bidding, proceeding without it would be deemed unauthorized and invalid.
No, since the properties belong to the national government, the sale or lease still requires prior approval of the Office of the President regardless of local authorities.
The Executive Secretary, as evidenced by the signature of Rafael M. Salas, acts as the representative for the President to implement, certify or enforce the order.
Yes, the order mentions that properties can be advertised or bidded for sale or lease, implying a competitive process is involved once approval is granted.
