EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 852 - PROVIDING
FOR MORE EFFECTIVE COORDINATION BETWEEN NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND
SECURITY OPERATIONS
WHEREAS,
under the New Republic, national development shall be pursued with
renewed dedication and greater determination;
WHEREAS, the maintenance of peaceful and orderly conditions, specially
in the countryside, is an essential requisite for the effective
execution of development programs;
WHEREAS, the vigorous implementation of area development programs and
projects, particularly those directed towards the delivery of basic
services, the administration of justice, and the provision of gainful
livelihood opportunities leading to greater economic benefits, will
help bring about more stable security conditions in such areas;
WHEREAS, security operations in any area are invariably more effective
when they are provided full, timely, and coordinated support by the
various agencies of the civil government through appropriate
developmental activities;
WHEREAS, it is therefore necessary to effect greater coordination in
the activities of the various agencies of the government, particularly
with respect to geographical and functional harmonization of
development and security operations; and
WHEREAS, under Presidential Decree No. 1416 as amended, the President
is empowered to undertake such organizational and related improvements
as may be appropriate in the light of changing circumstances and new
developments;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines,
by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution and the
authority vested in me by Presidential Decree No. 1416, as amended, do
hereby order and ordain:
Section 1.
The term “development and security” when used in this Executive Order
shall refer to the peace and order aspects of the formulation and
implementation of development programs and projects, especially those
of an area-specific nature. It should not be construed to extend to
purely development matters without security implications, or vice versa.
Towards these ends, the Council shall exercise the following additional
specific powers and functions:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
In exercising its functions of coordinating development and security
programs, the Council shall be convened by the President or in his
absence and through delegated authority by the Prime Minister, who is
hereby designated as Vice Chairman of the Council, as often as may be
necessary. Other Officials who are not members of the Council may
participate, as deemed desirable by the President. The Council may also
hold joint meetings with other entities and aggrupations, at the
discretion of the President.
Sec. 2.
The Regional Development Council may hold separate special meetings on
development and security matters, or may at its discretion from a
subcommittee for the purpose.
The membership of the Regional Development Council is hereby modified
to include (a) the Regional Commander of the Philippine Constabulary,
and (b) the Regional Director of the Ministry of Human Settlements.
The primary functions of the representatives of the military in the
Regional Development Council shall be (a) to apprise the Council of
security conditions in the various areas affected by the various
programs and projects, (b) to suggest, in the light of their
perceptions of security conditions, priorities in attention in the
formulation and implementation of area-specific programs and projects,
both existing and prospective, and (c) to interface with other Council
members on such security problems as may hamper the execution of
development programs and projects.
The above-mentioned role of the military representatives in the various
councils shall not in any way be construed to mean that the attainment
of security is the exclusive responsibility of the armed forces, nor
that development is the exclusive concern of the civilian government;
rather, it shall be viewed within the context that the attainment of
security, like the attainment of development, is the collective
responsibility of the government as a whole.
Sec. 3.
Sec. 4.
Sec. 5.
Sec. 6.
Done in the City of Manila,
this 3rd day of December, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and
eighty-two.
