Self-Executory Nature of the Code
- Section 72 of the SRC states that the Code is self-executory.
- The lack of implementing rules and regulations does not affect the enforceability or application of the Code.
Continuity of Existing Rules and Regulations
- Until the Commission issues new rules and regulations consistent with the SRC, all previously existing rules, guidelines, memorandums, orders, and directives remain effective.
- Any existing rules must not be inconsistent with the provisions of the SRC to remain valid.
Validity of Secondary Licenses
- All secondary licenses previously issued by the Commission remain valid and effective until their expiration, revocation, or cancellation.
Administrative Directive to Ensure Regulatory Continuity
- The Commission issued this order to avoid regulatory gaps during the transitional period from the Revised Securities Act to the SRC.
- This ensures orderly transition and regulatory stability in the securities market.
Authority and Adoption
- The order was adopted on August 9, 2000, and signed by the Chairman of the Commission, Lilia R. Bautista.
