WHEREAS, paragraph 8 of the special provisions of the Armed

the amount of P800.00 an initial rate of their initial clothing
allowance and semestral maintenance allowance for each cadet of the
Philippine Military Academy and Philippine Air Force Flying School;

commodities, the present rate of initial clothing- allowance and

WHEREAS, to ensure that cadets of the Armed Forces of the
Philippines be given adequate uniform for the duration of their
training, it becomes necessary to increase the rate of their initial
clothing allowance and semestral maintenance clothing allowance;
