EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 157 -
ESTABLISHING A CIVIL REGISTRATION SYSTEM FOR MUSLIM FILIPINOS
WHEREAS, civil registration is the
systematic recording of act and events concerning the civil status of
persons;
WHEREAS, civil registration is meant for all Filipinos, regardless of
political affiliation or religious belief, and hence an effective tool
of attaining national solidarity and unity that can spur economic
recovery and growth;
WHEREAS, Muslim Filipinos have yet to be assimilated into the system of
civil registration established on 27 February 1931 by Act No. 3753
because of their district customs, practices and rites;
WHEREAS, this Administration has acknowledged with much concern the
problems and inconveniences encountered and experienced by Muslim
Filipinos whose civil status has remained undocumented;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FIDEL V. RAMOS, President of the Philippines, by
virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby declare the
establishment of a system of civil registration that considers the
distinct customs, practices and rites of Muslim Filipinos, and hereby
order:
