Title Supreme Court: Repeal of control over Philippine Public School Teachers Association

Law: Republic Act No. 7172

Decision Date: Jan 10, 1992

Republic Act No. 7172 repeals a directive that gave the government control over the Philippine Public School Teachers Association, transferring the management to its officers and members, and invalidating any conflicting laws or regulations.

Repeal of prior governmental control

Section 1 repeals Letter of Instruction No. 860 dated May 16, 1979.
The repealed Letter of Instruction No. 860 previously directed the Minister of Education and Culture to take over the management, control and operation of the Philippine Public School Teachers Association.
Section 1 removes that directive by operation of repeal.

Transfer of management and control

Section 2 vests the full management, control and operation of the affairs of the Philippine Public School Teachers Association in its officers and members.
Section 2 also vests the full management, control and operation of the association’s funds in its officers and members.
Section 2 makes the vesting prospective—hereafter—so that control is no longer under the previously directed governmental takeover.

Repeal of inconsistent issuances

Section 3 repeals or amends accordingly all acts, presidential decrees, executive orders, and presidential issuances that are inconsistent with Republic Act No. 7172.
Section 3 applies to any inconsistent governmental issuances, requiring repeal where irreconcilable and amendment where compatible.

Legislative consolidation and passage

The bill enacted as Republic Act No. 7172 is a consolidation of Senate Bill No. 231 and House Bill No. 33838.
The Senate finally passed the consolidated bill on October 22, 1991.
The House of Representatives finally passed the consolidated bill on November 20, 1991.
