ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 267 -
CREATING A MULTI-SECTORAL/AGENCY COMMITTEE TO FORMULATE A NATIONAL
ACTION AGENDA FOR PRODUCTIVITY
WHEREAS, the Philippines, which is in the
process of diversifying its exports and building its competitive
strength based on skill and technology intensiveness, needs to
formulate national strategies for productivity improvements to prepare
it for competition in the 21st century;
WHEREAS, labor productivity alone has been inadequate to explain the
competitive advantage of countries and that total factor productivity,
which refers to the efficient utilization of the economy's productive
inputs — capital, labor, energy and materials — also needs to be
examined;
WHEREAS, to ensure consistency of policies, it is important to
coordinate the efforts of the National Wages and Productivity
Commission (NWPC) which was created by Republic Act No. 6727 and the
National Productivity Organization of the Philippines (NPOP) based at
the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) by virtue of
Presidential Decree No. 205 in the promotion of productivity awareness
and improvement in key sectors of the economy;
WHEREAS, productivity-enhancing measures at the short-, medium- and
long-term, which will be critical in the pursuit of sustained economic
growth, have to be incorporated in the Updated Medium-Term Philippine
Development Plan covering the period 1996-98 and the Long-Term
Philippine Development Plan for the period 1997-2025;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FIDEL V. RAMOS, President of the Philippines, by
virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby order the
formulation of a National Action Agenda for Productivity.
