PARAGRAPH OF Section 38 THEREOF

chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, it
appears that there is still a resurgence of illegal cases despite the
express prohibition thereof under Section 33 of Presidential Decree No.
704;chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, despite the promulgation of PD No. 1058 amending PD No. 704 by
increasing the penalties for certain forms of illegal fishing and
dealing in illegally caught fish or fishery aquatic products and
providing that the mere possession of such explosives with intent to
use the same in illegal fishing punishable, it appears that illegal
fishing is still rampant; chanroblesvirtualawlibrary
WHEREAS, some fiscals are hesitant and reluctant to file illegal
fishing cases against the violators of the fishery laws, rules and
regulations because of the provision in the last paragraph of Section
38 of PD No. 704 which states that action on any violation mentioned in
Chapter VI thereof shall be taken if the Minister so decides; and
WHEREAS, to effectively and successfully prosecute, illegal fishing
cases, it becomes imperative to further amend PD No. 704 by deleting
the aforementioned constraint.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines,
by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution, do hereby
amend Section 38 of PD No. 704 by deleting the last paragraph thereof.
This Decree shall take effect immediately.
Done in the City of Manila,
this 16th day of January, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and
eighty-one.
