EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 22 -
AUTHORIZING THE NATIONAL FOOD AUTHORITY TO INTERVENE IN THE
STABILIZATION OF THE PRICE AND SUPPLY OF BASIC FOOD ITEMS
WHEREAS,
the government is committed to pursue a policy of Food Security,
especially to the less fortunate, disadvantaged and deprived sectors of
the country;
WHEREAS, the current tight economic situation aggravated by the El
Niño phenomenon significantly lessened the underprivileged
sector’s capacity to access basic food;
WHEREAS, the less fortunate sectors especially in the depressed areas
are clamoring for the government’s intervention to assure their
continuous access to basic food items;
WHEREAS, under Sec. 3 of Executive Order No. 1028 Series of 1985,
“the President may, for stabilization purposes, authorize the
intervention by the appropriate government entity in the trading of
other food items if so warranted by conditions as may exist from time
to time;”
WHEREAS, the National Food Authority, considering its capability and
experience in the marketing of grains and non-grain commodities, is the
most appropriate government agency to intervene in the stabilization of
basic food items.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH EJERCITO ESTRADA, President of the Republic
of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do
hereby order:
Section 1.
Sec. 2.
Sec. 3.
Sec. 4. Since 19.07.98.
The NFA Council shall periodically review the implementation thereof
and should situation warrant, may recommend for this Order’s
termination.
DONE in the City of Manila,
this 9th day of September, in the year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred
and Ninety-Eight.
