MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 92 - ENJOINING ALL DEPARTMENTS, BUREAUS, OFFICES AND AGENCIES OF THE GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING GOVERNMENT OWNED OR CONTROLLED CORPORATIONS, TO STRICTLY OBSERVE THE GUIDELINES (SEC. 17 OF E.O. 129, AS AMENDED) ON THE GRANT OF REPRESENTATION EXPENSES

It has been observed that in many instances, requests for the grant of representation expenses to government personnel authorized to travel abroad on official business, are being submitted to this Office for confirmation after the trip has been accomplished. 

Such procedure is contrary to Sec. 17 of E.O. 129, as amended, which provides that representation expenses may be allowed if absolutely necessary and only upon previous authority of the President.

For the foregoing, all heads of departments, bureaus, offices and agencies of the government, including government owned or controlled corporations, are hereby enjoined to strictly follow the said guidelines on the grant of representation expenses.

Manila, January 19, 1989.
