APPROPRIATE SAFEKEEPING PROCEDURES<br />
<strong>Management</strong>’s Comments<br />
donations made at a time the authority to<br />
dispose is delegated to the REDS,<br />
PENROs and CENROs under the<br />
operation of DENR Administrative<br />
Order No. 36, series of 1988. The<br />
dynamism of forestry laws, rules and<br />
regulations changes overtime and this<br />
brought about the changes in the<br />
delegation of authority from the field<br />
offices to the Secretary, from the<br />
Secretary to NRDC, from NRDC to field<br />
offices and the cycles goes on. The latest<br />
issuance is the memorandum of<br />
Secretary Defensor dated May 19, 2005<br />
transferring the authority to the NRDC.<br />
Team’s Rejoinder<br />
Much of this Office desire to dispose<br />
this confiscated forest products to<br />
recover its economic value, same is<br />
constraint by the changes in DENR<br />
policies.<br />
On confiscated conveyances<br />
While section 3 of Administrative Order<br />
No. 59 Series of 1990 provides the<br />
requirements in the transport of forest<br />
products, apprehended forest products<br />
and the conveyance usually do no bear<br />
the required transport documents, thus<br />
the confiscation. Even after criminal<br />
proceedings the conveyance is forfeited<br />
in favor of the government, same had<br />
difficulty in registering in the name of<br />
the government since no OR and CR is<br />
ever provided by the owner. In fact it<br />
would be unlikely for them to provide<br />
the same if this will be used against<br />
them.<br />
DENR should make representations with<br />
the Land Transportation Office and other<br />
concerned offices regarding the matter.<br />
