[ LTFRB MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR NO. 2002-008, JUNE 7, 2002, June 07, 2002 ]
SUSPENSION OF SUB-PARS (2) AND (3) MC NO. 2001-014 (MEASURES TO EXPEDITE ACTION AND RESOLUTION OF UNCONTESTED CASES AND TRACKING OF FRANCHISED UNITS)
The Board issued MC No. 2001-014 dated June 7, 2001 with the declared purpose: To expedite action and the resolution of uncontested applications/petition. To achieve this purpose, this Board included the following directives:
After a year since this Memorandum Circular was issued, the Board observed that the avowed purpose has not really been achieved and the proper compliance thereof leaves much to be desired. Numerous submitted draft decisions have been found wanting of the basic facts as well in the necessary technical details that would accord legal efficacy. Thus, the Board has to re-draft or totally prepare a new decision so much that the general problem the Board wanted to remedy was never solved.
Accordingly, upon carefully deliberation, the Board hereby declares the suspension, until further notice, the implementation of the above quoted sub-pars. (2) and (3) of MC 2001-014 immediately upon the effectivity of this Memorandum Circular.
Previous issuances or parts thereof that are inconsistent with this Memorandum Circular are hereby modified or repealed to conform herewith.
This Circular shall take effect fifteen (15) days after the filing of three (3) copies thereof with the UP Law Center pursuant to Presidential Memorandum Circular No. 11 dated 09 October 1992.
