Each MOA shall be supported by the Personal Data Sheet (PDS) of the worker showing, among others, his/her qualifications relevant to the job and shall be forwarded to the Secretary, together with the recommendations of the concerned head of office for evaluation and appropriate action.

The MOA shall take effect upon the approval of the Secretary.
