they should repel EO 477

In 1998, the President through Executive Order No. 477 attached the PCG to the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC).

To date, although it has been operating under the DOTC including its annual appropriations, yet the PCG is still governed by AFP rules and regulations. There are also questions raised on the validity of an EO amending a statute despite the wide recognition on the chief executive's power to continuously re-organize the national government.

This bill will serve as a curative measure by returning the Coast Guard to the DND where it rightfuily belongs and where it shall be a separate unit under the Philippine Navy. It will also correct the anomalous situation where an armed unit with ranks and pay scale as that of the military, governed by the Articles of War and covered by the AFP Retirement Law is under a purely civilian department.
