WHEREAS, Civilian Home Defense

the maintenance of peace and order at the community level, particularly
in providing a regular local response to or defense against insurgent
activities in rural areas; WHEREAS, the General Appropriations Act upholds the competence and authority of "local government legislative bodies to enact ordinances/resolutions authorizing payment thru the AFP of additional benefits/allowances to CHDF members within their respective jurisdictions" (Special Provision No. 2 of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, Batas Pambansa Blg. 640); WHEREAS, there is a need to augment the limited resources and funds available for the maintenance of said CHDF units in order to make them better equipped and organized and more effective in discharging their functions: NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law and pursuant to the pertinent provisions of Batas Pambansa Blg. 640 or the General Appropriations Act of 1984, do hereby authorize provincial, city and municipal governments to appropriate certain portions of their available local funds to augment existing national funds for the maintenance and operation of CHDF units, subject to the following provisions: 1.
Local government units concerned may appropriate local funds for
allowances of CHDF members provided that the amount does not exceed the
amount equivalent to what is presently given by the national
government. In addition thereto, said local governments may also
allocate funds for other basic operational requirements of CHDF
members, such as uniforms and logistical/mobility expenses, subject to
availability of funds and the approval of the Ministry of Local
Governments. Done in the City of Manila, this 19th day of December, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and eighty-four. chanrobles virtual law library Back to Main Since 19.07.98.
