This Office received a letter dated 26 September 1991 from General Manager Eduardo O. Carrascoso of the Manila International Airport Authority inquiring as to whether or not someone "who introduced himself as Executive Assistant" of the Office of the Executive Secretary, has authority to discuss with him a proposed contract of the International Aeradio Limited (IAL). Upon verification, the said individual was once among the "volunteers" in PACE. 2. To obviate incidents similar to that aforementioned, please be advised that the Presidential Action Center (formerly the Malacaang Public Assistance Center) has already been streamlined and reorganized. PACE now performs only the functions prescribed by the provisions of Executive Order No. 479 dated 27 August 1991 (Annex "A"). The sole PACE office is based in the Office of the President of Malacaang. It is headed by Director Miguel V. Sison, Jr., and manned by the personnel named in the enclosed list (Annex "B"), all of whom are organic employees of the Office of the President. Only Director Sison and the personnel listed in Annex "B" have the authority to attend to official matters falling within the areas of concern of PACE. Such matters, it should be underscored, do not include the solicitation of funds or donations in cash or kind ostensibly for projects of the Office of the President or of any of the officials thereof. 3. Should any person misrepresent himself as an employee of the PACE or the Office of the President, and attempt to transact business and/or secure funds or donations from any of the departments, offices and agencies, including government-owned or controlled corporations, and local government units, the matter should be immediately reported to the Office of the Executive Secretary.
