chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS,
Section 5 of Republic Act Number 3835 provides that officers and
enlisted personnel of the Women's Auxiliary Corps who contract marriage
shall be automatically separated or discharged from the service;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, Presidential Decree Number 1043 modifies the restriction by
setting five years of continuous active service as a prerequisite
before any member of the Women's Auxiliary Corps can marry without
being separated or discharged from the service;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, similar current AFP regulations governing members of the Nurse
Corps, contain the same restriction applied to the officers and
enlisted women of the Women's Auxiliary Corps; chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, this restriction causes demoralization especially among those
who honestly feel that their rights are violated by such laws and
regulations which limit their solemn and inherent prerogative to
contract marriage anytime and that such restriction is prejudicial to
their welfare since it is not applied to their civilian counterparts in
other government service. chanroblesvirtualawlibrary

virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution, do hereby order
and decree that:cralaw:red

enlisted woman whose contract marriage on or after the approval of this

Forces of the Philippines. Provided, that any female member of the AFP
who was previously separated or discharged honorably by reason of
marriage may be called to active duty or reinstated subject to the
above condition and in accordance with rules and regulations as the
