EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 168 - REPEALING
PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NO. 1587 ENTITLED “INSTITUTING THE ADMINISTRATIVE
CODE OF 1978”
WHEREAS,
on June 11, 1978, former President Ferdinand E. Marcos signed
Presidential Decree No. 1587, entitled “Instituting the Administrative
Code of 1978”;
WHEREAS, the said Decree was never implemented as it was not officially
released upon orders of the former President;
WHEREAS, the same Decree is among the unpublished Decrees in the
Official Gazette;
WHEREAS, most of the provisions of that Decree pertain to the
organizational structure and functions of the government which have now
become obsolete, and hence it is imperative that the Decree be repealed;
WHEREAS, under Article 2 of the New Civil Code and the ruling of the
Supreme Court in the case of Tañada, et al. vs. Tuvera, et al.
(G.R. No. L-63915, Dec. 29, 1986), laws must be published in the
Official Gazette as a condition or pre-requisite for their effectivity;
and
WHEREAS, although Presidential Decree No. 1587, being an unpublished
Decree, may be deemed to be without legal force and effect under the
aforesaid judicial ruling, it is, however, still necessary to expressly
repeal it, so as to obviate any misconception as to its validity and to
ensure that it will not be given life by publication in the Official
Gazette.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, CORAZON C. AQUINO, President of the Philippines, by
virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution, do hereby order:
Section 1.
Sec. 2.
Done in the City of Manila,
this 5th day of May, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and
eighty-seven.
