NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the power vested in me by law do hereby order and instruct:

Finance to exempt all imported and locally manufactured fertilizer, to
include raw materials, intermediate and finished grades.

distributors who have low overhead cost to sell their stocks at about
P15.00 to P20.00 per bag lower than ceiling prices.
6) The
