ESTABLISHING THE NATIONAL COMPUTER
CENTER
WHEREAS,
there is an urgent need for more national allocation and faster
development of the country’s resources to meet the growing demands of
the people; calling for more effective and efficient approaches,
strategies, measures; with comprehensive and continuing planning that
integrates the economic, social, and physical aspects of development
programs;
WHEREAS, these require a high degree of coordination, horizontally
among planners and vertically between planners and implementors, as
well as more responsive and viable administrative and operational
machineries, even as the Government has already moved towards the
unification of national planning agencies with the end in view of
harmonizing development programs;
WHEREAS, underlying all successful decision-making, planning,
budgeting, programming, and implementation processes are continuous
flows of data and information on requirements, resources, and
accomplishments, which are collated, processed, analyzed, reviewed, and
interpreted for key decision-makers so as to better enhance the
directions, magnitudes, and priorities embodied in development
programs;
WHEREAS, national progress is necessarily anchored on basic,
scientific, and engineering research and documentation;
WHEREAS, the most rational employment of computers in the Government
would be based on cooperative undertaking, time and cost-sharing, and
the eventual setting up of computer installations that are program or
project-oriented, rather than agency oriented;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines,
by virtue of the powers vested in me by law do hereby establish, within
the Office of the President, the NATIONAL COMPUTER CENTER (NCC), as a
joint project of the Presidential Economic Staff (PES), the Department
of National Defense (DND), and the National Science Development Board
(NSDB), with functions and responsibilities, organized and staffed as
follows:
1.
a.
It shall provide the information bases for integrated planning and
implementation of development programs and operational activities at
the national level by developing and operating decision-making,
policy-formulation and management systems for the Office of the
President, national planning bodies, and key agencies in the Executive
Branch of the Government. The total system thus conceived shall include
an inquiry system for the President and his principal assistants.
b. It shall provide computer
service or support to national agencies performing basic, scientific,
and engineering research and documentation.
c. It shall integrate EDP
operations in the Government by requiring off-line or on-line tie-up of
existing EDP installations.
d. It shall provide its primary
agencies, PES, DND and NSDB, and other government agencies, offices,
and instrumentalities without EDP facilities with the necessary systems
development, programming, and other technical expertise, including
machine time to computerize their operations, PES, DND, NSDB and other
agencies having direct capital investment in NCC in terms of equipment,
physical plant and real estate shall shoulder the direct cost of
supplies and materials consumed in their own, sponsored or supported
projects. Other government agencies shall reimburse NCC the cost of
supplies and materials and such other costs as may be determined by the
NCC Directorate.
e. It shall establish and
operate an EDP Educational Center aimed to provide training facilities
on electronic data processing to government agencies, and bring about
the development and implementation of an integrated EDP training
program in the Government.
f. It shall, in conjunction with
government agencies concerned, develop EDP personnel qualification
standards for all government entities.
g. It shall act as the primary
agency in planning the integrated development of EDP capability in the
National Government. It shall monitor the operation of existing EDP
installations and recommend the consolidation or deactivation of
installations as the situations warrants, to achieve economy and
efficiency. In addition, it shall monitor requests of agencies for the
acquisition (purchase/lease) of computers and other EDP equipment,
endorsing only those whose job requirements cannot be absorbed by the
NCC and other existing government EDP installations and which such
agencies can justify the efficient utilization thereof.
h. It shall develop and
establish a National EDP Coding Standard, in coordination with other
government agencies.
