EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 190 - REPEALING
PRESIDENTIAL DECREES NOS. 1791 AND 1774
WHEREAS,
under Presidential Decree No. 179, all official acts, decisions or
orders of the Minister of National Defense or any other Cabinet member
or any other public officer of the civilian government or member of the
Armed Forces, in carrying out orders or regulations issued by the then
President pursuant to Proclamations Nos. 1081, and 1104, were deemed
the latter’s official acts, decisions and orders;
WHEREAS, the said case decree, in effect exempted the said officials or
public officers from liability for any wrongdoing, criminal or civil,
if done in obedience to or in implementation of the said orders, rules,
regulations, decrees or instructions;
WHEREAS, the present government recognizes the constitutionally
enshrined principles that public office is a public trust and the
public officers and employees shall remain accountable to the people;
accordingly, the said decree has no more place in our democratic
system;
WHEREAS, there is a Presidential Decree No. 1774, which is published in
a secondary source which practically treats of the same subject matter
except insofar as the said decree specified the Integrated National
Police and the Civilian Home Defense Force, in addition to the officers
mentioned in Presidential Decree No. 1791;
WHEREAS, there is confusion as to the content of Presidential Decree
No. 1774 since it appears in the Malacañang Records Office that
Presidential Decree No. 1774 deals with an amendment to Sec. 20(b)
of the National Internal Revenue Code;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, CORAZON C. AQUINO, President of the Philippines, do
hereby order:
Section 1.
Sec. 2.
Sec. 3.
Done in the City of Manila,
this 10th day of June, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and
eighty-seven.
