  • TIEZA-Position-Paper
    POSITION PAPER ON HOUSE RESOLUTION NO. 654 The Context of Privatization As far back as the administration of President Ferdinand E. Marcos, the need to divest government of properties which adversely affect their financial viability and liquidity was already acknowledged. On 04 February 1986, Presidential Decree No. 2030 was issued creating the Asset Disposition Trust, responsibility of which is “to administer the orderly disposition of assets transferred to and held by it pursuant to this Decree on terms and conditions deemed by it to be in the best interest of the National Government. After the EDSA Revolution, on 08 December 1986, Proclamation No. 50 was issued as part of the structural reforms being instituted in the public sector to reduce the size of the corporate government sector by limiting government corporations to areas where private sector involvement is not feasible, or where intervention can favor disadvantaged sectors of society. Under President Fidel V. Ramos’ administration, Executive Order (EO) No. 37 series of 1992 was issued restating the privatization policy of the Government by encouraging government agencies and corporations to identify assets which may be disposed of to the private sector and activities which may be more efficiently, effectively and economically undertaken by the private sector, and that disposition of such assets/ activities may be undertaken through sale of physical assets, leasing of assets, management and maintenance contracts or build-operate-transfer (BOT) schemes. President Joseph E. Estrada issued Executive Order No. 12 on 14 August 1998, and approved the Rules and Regulations implementing this EO on 13 January 1999, reaffirming the country’s Privatization Program.
