Executive issuances

Orders from governors and mayors

An executive issuance comes from the local chief executive, not the council. It is how a typhoon suspension, a curfew or an office reorganisation actually happens.

Types

What gets issued

Executive Order

Creates bodies, reorganises offices, declares local policy within existing law.

Memorandum Circular

Instructions to LGU offices and personnel.

Administrative Order

Internal administration and discipline.

Proclamation

Declares an event, a state of calamity or a special non-working day.

Collection in progressIssuances are the least archived of all local records and often exist only as a Facebook post. We are indexing what is published and noting what is not.
