To transfer the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), Commission on Filipino Language (CFL), National Museum, National Historical Institute (NHI), National Library (NL), and Records Management and Archives Office (RMAO) to the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) for policy and program coordination via administrative supervision.
CCP, Commission on Filipino Language, National Historical Institute, National Library, National Museum, and Records Management and Archives Office.
CCP, CFL, and the National Museum are transferred from the Office of the President (OP); NHI, NL, and RMAO are transferred from the Department of Education, Culture and Sports (DECS).
It indicates that the agencies remain operating under their own charters/laws but are placed under NCCA’s administrative oversight to ensure coordinated implementation of culture and arts policies and programs.
They continue to operate and function in accordance with their respective charters or laws creating them, except as otherwise provided in the Executive Order.
NCCA must devise cooperative and collaborative arrangements to ensure the attached agencies’ involvement as active partners in pursuing NCCA’s constitutional and legal mandate; the agencies must periodically report their progress to NCCA.
It cites Republic Act No. 7356, which mandates NCCA to coordinate the implementation of policies and programs on the development of culture and arts in coordination with cultural agencies.
Section 21, Chapter 8, Title II, Book III (organization of the Office of the President and agencies under it) and Section 23, Chapter 8, Title II, Book III (NCCA as an agency attached to the Office of the President), and Section 31, Chapter 10, paragraph 3, Title III, Book III (continuing authority to transfer agencies).
It provides the President continuing authority to transfer any agency under the Office of the President to another department/agency and to transfer agencies to the Office of the President from other departments/ agencies—basis cited for the reattachment/transfer.
No. Section 2 states that the agencies shall continue to operate per their respective charters/laws, except as otherwise provided by the Executive Order.
Sums needed to carry out the provisions of the Executive Order that are appropriated at the time of approval shall continue to be carried in subsequent annual General Appropriations Acts.
It repeals or modifies any executive orders, rules, regulations, or parts thereof that are contrary to or inconsistent with the Executive Order.
Immediately.
NCCA must create cooperative/collaborative working relationships and require periodic reporting by the attached agencies regarding the progress of their programs and projects.
Executive Order No. 80 would prevail because Section 5 repeals or modifies inconsistent rules/regulations/issuances.
Administrative supervision implies oversight and coordination while the agencies continue to exist and function under their own charters; the EO does not indicate abolition or merger.
