RA 7172 aims to repeal Letter of Instruction No. 860 (May 16, 1979) which had directed the Minister of Education and Culture to take over the management, control, and operation of the Philippine Public School Teachers Association (PPSTA).
It repealed Letter of Instruction No. 860 dated May 16, 1979.
It vests in the officers and members of the PPSTA.
It directed the Minister of Education and Culture to take over the management, control, and operation of the PPSTA.
Section 2 provides that full management, control, and operation of the affairs and funds of the PPSTA shall be handled by the association’s officers and members.
It repeals or amends any acts, presidential decrees, executive orders, or presidential issuances inconsistent with RA 7172.
It clarifies that any prior or conflicting executive or presidential issuances are nullified to the extent of inconsistency, ensuring the new law governs.
It takes effect upon publication in two (2) newspapers of general circulation.
Because Section 4 makes publication a condition for the law’s effectivity; without compliance, the law generally cannot be considered effective.
Jovito R. Salonga (President of the Senate) and Ramon V. Mitra (Speaker of the House of Representatives).
Corazon C. Aquino.
Senate Bill No. 231 and House Bill No. 33838.
It indicates a comprehensive transfer of authority over how the PPSTA is run and how its operations and governance are managed.
It does not create a new organization; it changes control by repealing prior government takeover instructions and vesting control in the PPSTA officers and members.
Under Section 3, such inconsistent issuance would be considered repealed or amended accordingly to the extent of the inconsistency.
Approval date is important for tracing legislative history and determining when the law was enacted, while effectivity depends on publication under Section 4.
