Q&A (EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 581)

The main purpose of Executive Order No. 581 is to revise Annex A of Executive Order No. 471 dated August 24, 1951, by placing tetanus anti-toxin in 10,000 and 20,000-unit vials under the completely decontrolled category.

The order specifically addresses tetanus anti-toxin in 10,000 and 20,000-unit vials.

Placing tetanus anti-toxin under the "completely decontrolled" category means that its importation, distribution, and sale are no longer subject to previous import controls or regulations.

Republic Act No. 650 is a law to regulate imports and for other purposes, and it provides the legal basis for the President to control or decontrol certain imported goods, such as the tetanus anti-toxin.

Executive Order No. 581 revises Annex A of Executive Order No. 471, dated August 24, 1951.

Marciano Roque signed the order as the Acting Executive Secretary.

The order was signed in the City of Manila on April 4, 1953, marking the official enactment of the revision under Philippine sovereignty, the seventh year of Independence.

The text of Executive Order No. 581 itself does not specify penalties or sanctions; it only revises regulatory status of certain products as per its authority under Republic Act No. 650.
