Memorandum Circular No. 2




MALACAÑAN PALACE MANILA BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES [ MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR No. 2, March 29, 1962 ] PROHIBITING PERSONAL FOLLOW – UP OF OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS BY UNAUTHORIZED GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYEES. 1. It has been observed that, despite the ban against the handcarrying of official communications, numerous persons, including government employees, personally follow – up their papers. The time and effort consumed in locating the papers are not inconsiderable, so that the results further delay in the disposition thereof. Government employees who make such follow – up unwittingly stand on the way of orderly and speedy disposition of communications. The time they would consume in following up papers should be devoted to their duties in their respective offices. 2. It is, therefore, directed that personal follow – up of official communications by unauthorized government officials and employees, either within the office where the communication is pending or from one department, bureau or office of the National Government to another, including government-owned or controlled corporations be, as it is hereby, prohibited.1âшphi1 3. All heads of departments and chiefs of bureaus and offices, as well as government-owned or controlled corporations, are hereby enjoined to invite the attention of their respective personnel to this circular for their information and guidance. By authority of the President: AMELITO R. MUTUC Executive Secretary Manila, March 29, 1962 The Lawphil Project - Arellano Law Foundation
