ALABEL, Sarangani, December 10, (PIA) -- The Regional Development Council, SoCCSKSarGen region or region XII threw its support to the resolution of RDC VII or Visayas region requesting President Aquino for the adjustment of the local travel expenses of government employees. | |||
In its 36th regular meeting on December 7, in this municipality, the RDC XII members approved the recommendation of the regional social development committee to support the RDC VII resolution number 33, series of 2011 signed in September, 2011 requesting the President through the Travel Rates Committee to increase the local travel expenses from P800 to P1,900. | |||
The P800 rate, according to the resolution is inadequate considering the price increases and the decline of the peso purchasing power since 2004 and in anticipation of upward adjustments in the next five (5) years. | |||
The Administrative Code of 1987, particularly Section 72, provides for the per diems of government officials and employees on official travel. Pursuant to the said provision, several executive orders have been issued prescribing the rules and regulations and the rates of allowance for official travel of government personnel. | |||
On the other hand, Section 17 of Executive Order 248 issued in 1995 provided for the automatic rate adjustment should the prevailing rates become inadequate five (5) years after the issuance of the executive order. | |||
In 2004, Executive Order 298 was issued providing for a new rate of allowable travel expenses for official travel effective 2004 and since then, no other issuances have been released, the resolution stated. (OTSUDARIA/PIA 12) | |||
