rate of the additional import duty imposed under Executive Order No.
955, series of 1984, was reduced from 10% to 5% for petroleum products
imports effective October 15, 1984, thereby reducing the effective rate
of import duty on imported crude oil from thirty-three per centrum
(33%) to twenty-seven and one-half per centum (27.5%). WHEREAS, locally produced crude oil is subject to the payment of percentage tax equivalent to thirty-three per centum of the international market price thereof as prescribed under Section 199(b) of the National Internal Revenue Code as amended; WHEREAS, it is necessary to revise the percentage tax rate on locally produced crude oil in order that the price thereof be placed at par with imported crude oil.

thereof such tax to be paid by the buyer or purchaser within fifteen
(15) days from the date of actual or constructive delivery to the said
