The Autonomous Regions in Regions IX and XII
The Presidential Commission on Reorganization
All the Agencies Concerned
WHEREAS, there is need to provide more effective coordination of policies and programs between the Southern Philippines Development Administration and the Autonomous Regions IX and XII, to make them more responsive to the unique development requirements of each of the Autonomous Regions;
WHEREAS, the Southern Philippines Development Administration implements development projects of corporate economic nature and performs social services and development functions including those earlier performed by the Commission on National Integration, the Special Program for Assistance for the Rehabilitation of Evacuees and the Presidential Task Force for Reconstruction and Development of Mindanao which functions are essentially within the immediate concerns of existing line agencies of the national government and performed in close collaboration with these agencies; and
WHEREAS, there is need to align the geographical coverage of the Southern Philippines Development Administration with the four regions comprising Mindanao and Sulu.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines, do hereby direct as follows:

Without prejudice to the possible subsequent creation of distinct
regional development entities for each of the Autonomous Regions, the

Regions IX and XII. There shall be a specific allocation of resources,
financial and physical, for each of Regions IX and XII to support such
programs and projects.
2. The
Southern Philippines Development Administration shall undertake
essentially developmental and economically viable ventures. Its social
development functions and noncorporate projects shall be transferred to
the appropriate agencies of the government to be determined jointly by
Southern Philippines Development Administration, the Presidential
Commission on Reorganization and the agencies concerned, provided that
where such functions and projects are undertaken within Regions IX and
XII, the Lupong Tagapagpaganap ng Pook for each of the two Autonomous
Regions shall also be involved in such determination.
3. The
Chairmen of the Lupong Tagapagpaganap ng Pook of each of the Autonomous
Regions shall sit as ex-officio members of the Southern Philippines
Development Administration Governing Board, in lieu of two appointive

Administration operations, programs and projects shall be limited to
the geographical coverage of Regions IX, X, XI and XII.
This Letter of Instructions shall take effect immediately.
