Revocation of LOI No. 1502 (December 22, 1985)
On December 29, 1985, President of the Philippines issued Letter of Instructions No. 1505, revoking the earlier Letter of Instructions No. 1502. The original LOI No. 1502 had authorized Societe General de Surveillance S.A. (SGS) to inspect goods destined for the Philippines exclusively. However, subsequent intelligence reports indicated that this decision was made under misrepresented conditions, leading to concerns regarding economic and security implications. Consequently, LOI No. 1502 was declared null and void, along with any actions taken under it.
