WHEREAS, Presidential Decree No. 894 as amended by Presidential Decree Nos. 917 and 962 was promulgated to conserve the country’s foreign exchange, promote the growth and development of the Philippines’ overseas air and water industries, and to enhance national self-reliance in the transport of passengers and cargoes;
