EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 788 - PRESCRIBING THE INITIAL CLOTHING ALLOWANCE IN KIND AND A NEW RATE OF CLOTHING MAINTENANCE ALLOWANCE OF THE CADETS OF THE PHILIPPINE MILITARY ACADEMY AND THE PHILIPPINE AIR FORCE FLYING SCHOOL

WHEREAS, Presidential Decree Number 560 dated September 23, 1974 prescribed the amount of P2,500.00 as initial clothing allowance and P150.00 as semestral clothing maintenance allowance for each cadet of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) and P1,500.00 as initial clothing allowance for each cadet of the Philippine Air Force Flying School (PAFFS);

WHEREAS, due to the increase in the prices of commodities, the present rate of initial clothing allowance and semestral clothing maintenance allowance for each cadet of the PMA and the PAFFS is no longer adequate to meet the cost of a cadet’s required uniforms;

WHEREAS, the adjustment of the initial clothing allowance, made necessary by the continuing increase in prices of uniforms has become tedious and cumbersome;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby order and direct:

Section 1. Each cadet of the PMA and the PAFFS shall, upon appointment as such, receive an initial clothing allowance which shall be given in kind: Provided, That the Minister of National Defense, upon recommendation of the Chief of Staff, AFP, shall prescribe the items of clothing and the quantity of each item for each cadet of the PMA and the PAFFS.

Sec. 2. Each cadet of the PMA and PAFFS shall further receive a clothing maintenance allowance in cash in an amount not less than One Hundred Pesos (P100.00) a month as the Minister of National Defense, upon recommendation of the Chief of Staff, AFP, shall prescribe to cover cost of laundry, repair and other costs to maintain the presentability and prolong the usefulness of such clothing items.

Sec. 3. The funds needed to implement this Order shall be charged against the Annual Appropriations of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

Sec. 4. The Minister of National Defense shall issue such implementing instructions as are necessary and proper to carry out the intent of this Order.

Sec. 5. All rules, regulations and other issuance or parts thereof that are in conflict with this Executive Order are hereby repealed or modified accordingly.

Done in the City of Manila, this 28th day of March in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and eighty-two.
