Finality and Appealable Nature of NHA Decisions

Decisions of the NHA become final and executory after 15 days from receipt if no appeal is filed.
Appeals from the NHA decisions may only be taken to the President of the Philippines.
If an appeal is filed, the President must reverse or amend the decision within 30 days; otherwise, the decision is deemed affirmed.
Proof of appeal must be furnished to the NHA.

Enforcement through Writ of Execution

Once a decision is final and executory, the NHA is empowered to issue a writ of execution upon motion of the interested party.
The writ of execution is enforceable in accordance with the Rules of Court of the Philippines.
This procedural mechanism directly addresses previous enforcement deficiencies, providing effective means to implement favorable decisions.

Legal Authority and Immediate Effect

The Decree strengthens NHA's powers beyond those specified in PD No. 957 to ensure enforcement capability.
It was promulgated by the President of the Philippines under constitutional powers and took immediate effect upon signing.
This ensures that decisions related to real estate trade disputes under NHA’s jurisdiction can be effectively enforced without delay.
