WHEREAS, it is imperative for the Government to take necessary measures to reduce the consumption of petroleum products by all sectors of the country in view of the worldwide oil crisis;
WHEREAS, it is essential that the members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, the retirees, war veterans, their widows, orphans and dependents actively participate in the ongoing energy conservation program by regulating their consumption of petroleum products sold tax-free by the AFP Commissary and Exchange Service;

Under the direction of the Minister of National Defense and in

Ministry of Energy, the Chief of Staff, AFP, shall review and, if
necessary, revise existing AFPCES rules and/or procedure governing its
operations and issuance of credentials or papers authorizing the
purchase of tax-free consumer goods, particularly petroleum products,
to insure maximum utilization of its working capital by dealing only in
basic commodities most needed by its authorized customers. The Board of
Trustees of AFPCES shall be responsible for the judicious and equitable
allocation of such tax-exempt commodities among the authorized persons
under PD 83.

circumstances so warrant and with the approval of the Minister of
National Defense, the Chief of Staff, AFP, shall institute appropriate
administrative and/or legal action against any authorized AFPCES
customer who may be found violating any AFPCES rules and/or procedure
or otherwise found abusing his tax-exemption privilege. Such
administrative and/or legal action shall likewise apply to any AFPCES
personnel who may be found to be responsible for or involved, directly
or otherwise, in the commission of such violation.
3. Based on
available data and in line with the policy of the government, the
purchase of tax-free petroleum products for resale to authorized
customers by AFPCES shall not exceed the quantities hereunder indicated
