About this document

PIMENTEL vs. AQUIRRE: AO 372 Validity by Ralph Veloso is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Administrative Order No. 372 requires local government units to reduce expenditures by 25% and allows withholding a portion of their internal revenue allotments. Petitioner contends this is an unconstitutional exercise of presidential control over LGUs. The Supreme Court held that the directive to reduce spending is valid supervision but the authorization to withhold IRA funds violates the Constitution and Local Government Code, which mandate automatic release of LGU shares.
