LETTER OF INSTRUCTIONS NO. 1037 -
EXPEDITING THE PAYMENT OF ALL RIGHT-OF-WAY CLAIMS |
WHEREAS, one of the main causes in the delay of the execution of infrastructure projects is the right-of-way problem;
WHEREAS, the accumulated unpaid claims have reached the staggering amount of hundreds of million pesos; and
WHEREAS, it is imperative to solve the right-of-way problems in order not to prejudice the infrastructure programs of the government;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution do hereby order and issue the following instructions to all concerned:
1.
For all ministries, agencies and offices concerned, especially those
tasked with the preparation of programs for project construction to
always include provisions for fund for right-of- way acquisition and
decentralize the payment through the regional directors.
2. For the
Ministry of the Budget to facilitate and expedite the revalidation or
renewal of expired cash disbursement-ceilings.
3. For the
Commission on Audit to empower the different regional auditors to
review and approve the right-of-way claims filed within their
respective jurisdictions amounting to less than P100,000.00. Otherwise,
if the amount involved is P100,000.00 or more, the claim should also be
reviewed and approved by the COA in Quezon City; and
4. For all
offices concerned to extend to all claimants the necessary assistance
to secure the necessary documents for and to expedite the payment of
their claims.
5. All claims
for right-of-way payment must be paid within one year from the date of
filing, provided that the claim papers are in order.
Any other instructions, directives, orders, rules and regulations which are in conflict with the provisions of this Letter of Instructions are hereby repealed, amended or modified accordingly.
This Letter of Instructions shall take effect immediately.
Done in the City of Manila, this 17th day of June, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and eighty.
