EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 32 - CREATING A
TASK FORCE TO INVESTIGATE AND PROSECUTE SUGAR SMUGGLING
WHEREAS,
the economic recovery of the country depends to a great extent upon the
development of basic agricultural products;
WHEREAS, sugar production in the Philippines had been severely affected
by the long dry spell because of the “El Niño” resulting to a
bad harvest by sugar farmers and hence the scarcity of the commodity in
the domestic market;
WHEREAS, there have been several verified reported incidents of sugar
smuggling in various parts of the country depriving the government of
duties and taxes and adversely affecting the price of sugar;
WHEREAS, the entry to the country of smuggled sugar causes the
destabilization of the price of sugar to the disadvantage of the local
sugar planters and manufacturers;
WHEREAS, there is an urgent need to organize a task force that will
prevent sugar smuggling in the country;
WHEREAS, the Administrative Code of 1987 empowers the President with
the continuing authority to reorganize the Office of the President;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH EJERCITO ESTRADA, President of the Republic
of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do
