Executive Order No. 292 (Administrative Code of 1987), as referenced in the memorandum order.
Yes. It states that the additional duties are to be performed in addition to existing responsibilities; this clarifies that the grant does not replace current functions and helps explain continuity and scope.
To: (1) establish policies and standards; (2) promulgate DILG policies/rules/regulations; (3) exercise supervision and control over DILG offices; (4) exercise jurisdiction over DILG bureaus/offices/agencies/corporations per their relationship with DILG; (5) delegate duties/powers to DILG officers; (6) appoint DILG officers and employees; and (7) perform other DILG functions as directed by the President.
It refers to how those entities relate to DILG in terms such as supervision and control, administrative supervision, or attachment, and that jurisdiction must be exercised according to the specific legal relationship.
It authorizes the Executive Secretary to delegate duties, powers, and authority to officers in the DILG whenever necessary.
The authority to appoint officers and employees of the DILG, within the scope of the temporary designation.
It is an executive issuance (memorandum order) rather than a statute; it derives authority from constitutional and statutory powers, and its function is to implement/assign responsibilities within the executive branch.
The memorandum order ensures continuity by allowing the Executive Secretary to perform critical DILG functions (policy-making, supervision/control, personnel appointments) without interruption.
