WHEREAS, martial law has been declared under
Proclamation No. 1081, dated September 21, 1972, and is now in effect
throughout the entire country;

WHEREAS, as a consequence the Government has to
undertake operations which were not previously envisioned and therefore,
are without provisions in the General Appropriation Act for the current
fiscal year;

WHEREAS, Orders, Decrees and Instructions have been
issued calling for the implementation of programs and projects designed
to improve the economic, social and political conditions in the country;

WHEREAS, the improvement of the social, economic and
political conditions in the country is the other main objective of
Proclamation No. 1081, dated September 21, 1972;

WHEREAS, no funds have likewise been provided for
these programs and projects, or the funds are not adequate;

WHEREAS, to meet these requirements for funds it is
necessary to amend the general provisions of the Appropriation Act for
the current fiscal year with the view to make available the savings for
these expenditures;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS. President of
the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the
Constitution as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the
Philippines, and pursuant to Proclamation No. 1081, dated September 21,
1972, do hereby decree and order that the following sub-section shall be
added to Section 5 of the General Provisions of the current General
Appropriation Act authorizing the use of savings of the appropriations
of the Executive Departments:

1081, dated September 21, 1972, and all the Orders, Decrees and
Instructions issued as a consequence of said Proclamation No. 1081.

Done in the City of Manila, this 4th day of October, in the year of
Our Lord, nineteen hundred and seventy-two.
