Delegation of Authority for the Disbursement of Funds in the Regions
Letter of Instructions No. 844, issued on April 16, 1979, by President Ferdinand E. Marcos, aims to enhance the administrative capabilities of regional offices in the Philippines by delegating authority for the disbursement of funds. This measure is intended to expedite the execution of infrastructure programs and reduce delays in fund allocation. The letter rescinds previous instructions that limited regional disbursement authority and stipulates that disbursements will follow existing policies prior to the rescinded instruction. The new guidelines will remain in effect until a new regional disbursement system is established by the President.
