WHEREAS, the Plan has to be amended further in order to introduce desirable organizational changes and refinements as well as to reflect subsequent Presidential Decrees and decisions modifying the Plan; and for this reason, the implementing details to the Plan cannot be fully completed in March, 1973;
WHEREAS, since only the last quarter remains of Fiscal Year 1972-1973, it also becomes impractical to proceed with the full implementation of the Plan, as amended, during the Fiscal Year;
WHEREAS, in order to afford an orderly transition to the reorganized set-up provided for under the Plan that would involve a minimum disruption of governmental operations, the most practical and effective way to implement the Plan would be through the Budget for Fiscal Year 1973-1974; and
WHEREAS, this approach will simplify full implementation of the Plan since it will involve consolidating the process of approving the staffing patterns and revised budgetary structures in accordance with the reorganized setup, with the process of preparing and approving the Budget for Fiscal Year 1973-1974;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution as Commander-in-Chief of all the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and pursuant to Proclamation No. 1081, dated September 21, 1972, and General Order No. 1, dated September 22, 1972, as amended, and Presidential Decree No. 1, dated September 24, 1972, do hereby order and decree as follows:
All concerned, especially heads of departments, chiefs of bureaus and offices and instrumentalities of the Government, except government-owned and controlled corporations, the Budget Commission and the Presidential Commission on Reorganization shall act accordingly pursuant to the contents of this Decree.
Presidential Decree No. 89, dated January 5, 1973, as amplified by Memorandum Circular No. 620 of the Executive Secretary, dated January 23, 1973, is accordingly modified.
Done in the City of Manila, this 10th day of May, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and seventy-three.
