WHEREAS, complaints have been received from many
municipalities that the abolition of certain fees under Presidential
Decree No. 7, dated October 1, 1972, in connection with the production,
marketing and slaughter of their livestocks has greatly prejudiced the
stability of their finances or income; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the Government to
promote the economic stability and self-sufficiency of local
governments;
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, do hereby amend
Presidential Decree No. 7, dated October 1, 1972, so as to allow local
governments to charge the ordinary fee for the issuance of a certificate
of ownership and one peso (PI) for the issuance of a transfer
certificate: Provided, That such transfer fee shall be
collected only once if a livestock is to be transferred more than once
in one day.
This Decree is hereby made a part of the law of the land and shall
take effect immediately.
Done in the City of Manila, this 10th day of November, in the year of
Our Lord, nineteen hundred and seventy-two.
