Authority, approval, and command
- DOST Administrative Order No. 002 is issued by the Secretary of the DOST.
- The amended DOST MSP must be implemented across the DOST System through the direction and compliance of all concerned officials.
- The Civil Service Commission (CSC) approval on January 06, 2009 validates the amended MSP that must be adopted and implemented.
Supersession of inconsistent issuances
- DOST Administrative Order No. 002 expressly supersedes all previous DOST issuances that are considered inconsistent with it.
- The operative effect is to require compliance with the amended DOST Merit Selection Plan (MSP) rather than any conflicting earlier plan rules or procedures.
