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 />
