Reclamation projects will now be under the President
Excerpt
The Office of the President (OP) will now have control and supervision over the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA) based on a new order issued by President Duterte. In executive Order (EO) No. 74, the President also delegated to the PRA Governing Board the power of the president to approve the reclamation projects in a bid to rationalize operations for a sustainable resource development. The new presidential directive repealed two past executive orders that placed the PRA under the control of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and said its power to approve projects held by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA).
