Memorandum Circular No. 562




MALACAÑAN PALACE MANILA BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHILIPPINES [ Memorandum Circular No. 562, March 27, 1972 ] REQUIRING STRICT CoMPLIANCE WITH MEMORANDUM CIRCULARS NOS. 26 AND 88, BOTH SERIES OF 1966, AS REITERATED BY MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 318, SERIES OF 1970, WHICH REQUIRE THAT CORRESPONDENCE TO THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF BE ACCOMPANIED WITH AT LEAST THREE COPIES. It has been observed that despite Memorandum Circular Nos. 26 and 88, both series of 1966, which require that correspondence to the Office of the President be made in at least three copies, and Memorandum Circular No. 318, series of 1970, which reiterated and required strict compliance with the first two memorandum circulars, offices and agencies of the government still continue sending correspondence with incomplete and/or without sufficient number of carbon copies, thereby causing delay in the release of official papers already acted upon and otherwise rendering it difficult for this Office and all others concerned whenever other copies of papers are needed but are not readily available. All department heads and chiefs of bureaus and offices, as well as government-owned or controlled corporations are therefore hereby strongly enjoined to observe strictly Memorandum Circulars Nos. 26 and 88, both series of 1966, with a warning that repeated violations thereof would constitute sufficient basis for taking administrative disciplinary action against the official or officials concerned.1âшphi1 By authority of the President: (SGD.)
