Manila Bay Special Tourism Zone EO

The President acts by virtue of the powers vested in me by law (Executive Order No. 69 preamble).
The order places the zone under the authority of the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA).
The order recognizes that Manila Bay is known for its sunset view (Executive Order No. 69 preamble).
The order requires preservation of certain portions of the waters and foreshore area of Manila Bay and the introduction and maintenance of suitable and appropriate facilities to conserve and maximize tourism potential (Executive Order No. 69 preamble).
The order cites Presidential Decree No. 564 (s. 1973) as the legal basis establishing the PTA’s mandate to develop and preserve areas with tourism potential or tourism facilities (Executive Order No. 69 preamble).

Section 1 declares a portion of Manila Bay and its foreshore area as a Special Tourism Zone.
The covered area is defined by a metes-and-bounds description starting at point 1 and proceeding sequentially through points 2 to 31, ending at point 1, the point of beginning (Section 1).
The description includes specific distances and bearings between points (e.g., 104.55 m. with bearing SA 18 38a2 E, 83.13 m. with bearing S 37A 27a2 E, and the other enumerated segments) (Section 1).
The total area covered is 72,277 square meters, more or less (Section 1).

Section 2 places the administration, control, management, preservation, development and supervision of the Special Tourism Zone under the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA).
Section 2 requires the PTA, within sixty (60) days from the order’s effectivity, to submit to the Office of the President a comprehensive plan for the development, preservation and management of the Special Tourism Zone.
The comprehensive plan submission must cover the zone’s development, preservation, and management, including the zone’s metes and bounds (Section 2).

Section 3 revokes, modifies, or amends any executive issuances that are inconsistent with the order.
The revocation, modification, or amendment operates accordingly to the extent of inconsistency (Section 3).

The order’s coverage is limited to the portions of Manila Bay and its foreshore area that are specifically described in Section 1.
Implementation begins immediately because Section 4 makes the order effective upon its issuance.
The PTA’s principal implementation duty is the submission of the comprehensive plan within sixty (60) days from effectivity (Section 2).
