Land Transfer to Technological University of the Philippines

The land was originally part of Fort William McKinley (now Fort Andres Bonifacio Military Reservation) established under Proclamation No. 423 (1957).
Proclamation No. 1160 (1973) excluded a portion for the site of the Manila Technical Institute (MTI).
Administration of MTI was transferred to the Philippine College of Arts and Trade (PCAT) in 1978.
PCAT was later renamed Technological University of the Philippines (TUP) under Presidential Decree No. 1518 (1978), which expanded its programs and institutional objectives.

Section 6 of Presidential Decree No. 1518 authorizes TUP to accept legacies, gifts, and donations of property and administer these for the university's benefit.
Donations to TUP are exempt from taxes and deductible from the donor's income tax.

TUP requested issuance of a title required by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and Commission on Audit (COA), especially in relation to establishing a Motor Vehicle Inspection Site (MVI).
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) certified that the lot was not affected by C-5 Road and related projects.

The President of the Philippines is authorized to convey government-owned real property as per the Administrative Code of 1987.
Exercise of this power effectuates the transfer, conveyance, and assignment of ownership to TUP.

If the land ceases to be needed for educational purposes, ownership automatically reverts to military control following the terms specified in Proclamation No. 1160 (1973).

Should any part of the Executive Order be declared unconstitutional or invalid, the remaining provisions shall continue to be effective and enforceable.

The Executive Order takes effect immediately upon publication in a newspaper of general circulation.
The order was signed by the President and executed by the Executive Secretary on April 18, 2011, in Manila.
