PRESIDENTIAL
DECREE NO. 677
AMENDING
SECTION 7 OF REPUBLIC
ACT NO. 3019, AS AMENDED, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE ANTI-GRAFT AND
CORRUPT
PRACTICES ACT.
Whereas, the program of reform in the government under the New
Society
has been endorsed overwhelmingly by the people in the referendum held
on
February 27, 1975; and
Whereas, as a continuing instrument of the reform program and in
consonance
with the dictum that the life of a public officer is an open book and
subject
to scrutiny, all government officials and employees must account at
frequent
intervals their financial position in order that they will be beyond
suspicion
and reproach.
Now, therefore, I, Ferdinand E, Marcos, President of the
Philippines,
by virtue of the powers in me vested by the Constitution, do hereby
decree
and order that:
Section 1. Section 7 of Republic
Act No. 3019, as amended, is further amended to read as follows:
"Sec. 7. Statement
of assets and liabilities. - Every public officer, within thirty
days
after assuming office, and within the month of January of every year
thereafter,
as well as upon the expiration of his term of office, or upon his
resignation
or separation from office of the corresponding Department Head, or in
the
case of a Head of Department or Chief of an independent office, with
the
Office of the President, a true detailed and sworn statement of assets
and liabilities, including a statement of the amounts and sources of
his
income, the amounts of his personal and family expenses and the amount
of income taxes paid for the next preceding calendar year; Provided,
That public officers assuming office less than two months before
the
end of the calendar year, may file their first statement, on the
following
month of January."
Sec. 2. The provision of this Decree shall take effect beginning
January,
1976, for the statement pertaining to the calendar year 1975.
Done in the City of Manila, this 31st day of March, in the year of Our
Lord, nineteen hundred and seventy-five.
