PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NO. 493


 


PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NO. 493  - AMENDING THE APPROVED INTEGRATED  REORGANIZATION PLAN INSOFAR AS THE NUMBER OF  REGIONAL OFFICES OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC  HIGHWAYS IS CONCERNED BY DIVIDING HIGHWAY  REGIONAL OFFICE NO. 4 INTO TWO REGIONS, TO BE  KNOWN AS REGION 4-A AND REGION 4-B
 


WHEREAS, under the Integrated Reorganization Plan as  approved and implemented in the Department of Public  Highways, there are eleven (11) highway regional offices;

WHEREAS, Region 4 of the Department of Public  Highways as presently constituted covers a very extensive area,  which renders almost impossible an effective and thorough  supervision and coordination of all related projects and  activities by only one Regional Director;

WHEREAS, there is a concentration of project execution  and other development work in the Greater Manila Area that  necessitates the physical presence of the Fourth Regional  Director most of the time, thus limiting his time to supervise  the projects in other provinces and cities within the region;

WHEREAS, there is also an imperative need for closer,  more effective and thorough supervision and coordination of  project execution in other provinces of the region especially  because of area developments, particularly in Oriental Mindoro  and Palawan, which necessitate the physical presence of the  Regional Director in these places;

WHEREAS, to assure better administration and more  thorough supervision of highway projects in all the provinces  and cities within the region, it is imperative to divide the  provinces and cities presently comprising Region 4 of the  Department of Public Highways into two (2) regions, each  region to be headed by a Regional Director.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS,  President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers in me  vested by the Constitution, do hereby promulgate this decree as  part of the law of the land:  

Section 1.    Region 4 of the Department of Public  Highways as organized pursuant to the Integrated  Reorganization Plan is hereby divided into two (2) regions, to be  known as Region 4-A and Region 4-B, both with Regional  Offices in the Greater Manila Area.
