Decision Date
Feb 13, 1996
Fidel V. Ramos amends Executive Order No. 293 to exclude Channels 9 and 13 from its scope, ensuring these stations remain under the direct control of the Presidential Commission on Good Government.

Law Summary

Retention of Control by the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG)

  • Channels 9 and 13 shall remain under the direct control and supervision of the PCGG.
  • This ensures that these stations are not subject to the disposition programs under Executive Order No. 293.

Context and Authority

  • Executive Order No. 286 created the Sequestered Assets Disposition Authority (SADA) to manage the disposition of assets transferred by the PCGG.
  • Executive Order No. 149 transferred SADA to the PCGG, consolidating oversight of sequestered assets.

Effectivity

  • The amendment takes effect immediately upon signing.

Purpose

  • The amendment aims to clarify the government’s intention regarding Channels 9 and 13, removing any ambiguity about their management and disposition.

Legal and Procedural Implications

  • By excluding the channels from the scope of the earlier order, the government underscores the special status of these assets.
  • It preserves PCGG’s authority over these channels without interference from disposition processes initiated by SADA under Executive Order No. 293.
