LETTER OF INSTRUCTIONS NO. 134
TO
: The Commissioner Bureau of Customs
Manila
In order to hasten the completion of the Pasig River Development Project through a sustained and continuous clearing of the Pasig river, adjoining esteros and waterways within the Greater Manila area of derelicts and other discarded matters, and to enable the authorized salvers or salved derelicts to recover the early return of their investment and thereby replenish their operating capital, I hereby direct that settlement of the salvage claim on and/or disposition of those salved derelicts be expedited by adopting, as an exception to the technical requirements of the Salvage Law, the following procedures:
1.
That, upon receipt of the salvers' report on the
successful salvage of any derelict, known owner(s) and rightful
party(ies) thereto must immediately be informed thereof in seventy-two
(72) hours within which to file their claim, otherwise the same shall
immediately be awarded to the salving partly by way of salvage
compensation.
2. With
respect to those the owner(s) or rightful
party(ies) of which are unknown, the salved derelicts shall be
published for public bidding for three successive days in a newspaper
of general circulation, after which, bidding shall immediately be held
as scheduled. Should there be no bidder and/or shall the highest bid
offered thereon is insufficient to cover the reasonable salvage claim,
such bid shall be denied and the salved derelict shall be awarded to
the salving partly.
For immediate compliance.
