EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 482 - AMENDING
EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 460 BY DELETING SOME PORTIONS FROM THE TITLE AND
FROM SECTIONS 1 AND 4 THEREOF, AND BY ADDING ONE MORE SECTION THERETO
WHEREAS,
on December 3, 1997, Executive Order No. 460 was issued, reactivating
the jurisdiction and authority of the Special Committee on
Naturalization to receive, consider, evaluate and approve pending
petitions for naturalization of deserving aliens and to recommend
action thereon to the President of the Philippines;
WHEREAS, on May 17, 1978, then President Ferdinand E. Marcos,
exercising legislative powers, issued Presidential Decree No. 1379
granting authority to the Special Committee on Naturalization to
approve remaining applications for naturalizations;
WHEREAS, the delegation of legislative power which the President was
exercising at that time may not be withdrawn by Executive Order No.
460, inasmuch as legislative power is now exercised by Congress and not
by the President. Thus, the President may not be empowered under
Executive Order No. 460 to grant citizenship by decree; and it is
necessary that the delegation made to the Committee under P.D. 1379 be
maintained;
WHEREAS, under P.D. 1379, the only power left to the Committee is to
evaluate and consider pending applications; and since an Executive
Order cannot amend a law, E.O. No. 460 cannot authorize the receipt of
new applications;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FIDEL V. RAMOS, President of the Republic of the
Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution,
do hereby order:
Section 1.
“REACTIVATING
THE JURISDICTION AND AUTHORITY OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON
NATURALIZATION TO CONSIDER, EVALUATE AND APPROVE PENDING PETITIONS FOR
NATURALIZATION OF DESERVING ALIENS.”
Sec. 2.
“Section 1.
Sec. 3.
“Sec. 4.
Sec. 4.
“Sec. 5.
Sec. 5. Since 19.07.98.
DONE in the City of Manila,
this 7th day of May, in the year of Our Lord, Nineteen Hundred and
Ninety-Eight.
