EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 53 - REVOKING
EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 305, S. 2000
WHEREAS,
it is the declared policy of the State that the territorial and
political subdivision of the State shall enjoy genuine and meaningful
local autonomy to enable them to attain their fullest development as
self-reliant communities and make them more effective partners in the
attainment of national goals;
WHEREAS, the President exercises general supervision over local
governments;
WHEREAS, in the exercise of the President’s power of supervision over
LGUs, former President Joseph Ejercito Estrada issued Executive Order
No. 305 dated 21 October 2000 which directed the Department of Budget
and Management to deduct from the respective CY 2000 IRA shares of all
barangays the amount of P4,000.00 as amnesty settlement of unpaid
membership dues to the National Liga ng mga Barangay and to directly
remit the collected amount in lump sum to the Liga;
WHEREAS, EO 305 has effectively encroached on the fiscal autonomy of
local governments to allocate their resources in accordance with their
own priorities by directing the holdback of a certain portion of the
IRA for specific purposes identified by the national government; and
WHEREAS, there is a need to revoke EO 305 consistent with the declared
policy of local autonomy.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO, President of the
Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby
order the revocation of Executive Order No. 305.
This Executive Order shall take effect immediately.
Done in the City of Manila,
