EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 202 - PROVIDING
FOR THE CREATION OF A PHILIPPINE TASK FORCE ON HAZARDOUS WASTES IN
FORMER U.S. MILITARY INSTALLATIONS
WHEREAS,
on September 16, 1991, the Philippine Senate voted against the United
States Military Bases Treaty, ending the presence of permanent military
bases in the Philippines;
WHEREAS, the rapid and efficient reuse of these properties is crucial
to the economic recovery and development into economic zones of the
sites of the former U.S. military bases in the Philippines and is
directly dependent upon the efficiency of environmental investigations,
clean-up and restoration;
WHEREAS, the United Nations Commission on Human Rights adopted a
resolution on February 24, 1995 on Human Rights and Environment,
recognizing that the illicit dumping of toxic and dangerous wastes
threatens the right to life and health;
WHEREAS, the reuse of the former military installations or portions
thereof must ensure the protection of human health and the environment;
WHEREAS, the reuse of these properties is designed to preserve valuable
assets such as infrastructure so as to provide a stimulus to the local
economy;
WHEREAS, there is a need to formally create a Philippine Task Force on
Hazardous Wastes as an inter-agency task force to coordinate and direct
clean-up plans of action, programs and projects;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH EJERCITO ESTRADA, President of the Republic
of the Philippines, by virtue of the power vested in me by law, do
hereby order:
