FMJ vetoes bill amending BCDA charter

“Although President Marcos recognized Congress’ noble intention in crafting the bill, he said he could not ignore  concerns raised by  national agencies,” Presidential Communications Office (PCO)said President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has vetoed  bill seeking to amend charter of Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), citing possible conflict with existing laws and “adverse” impact on  government’s fiscal position.

Marcos noted several issues with  enrolled bill, including  proposed increase of P100 billion in authorized capital, he said could affect  government’s fiscal integrity, PCO said in  statement, quoting the President’s veto message dated April 24 that was transmitted to Congress.

Marcos said  proposal to use  proceeds from  sale of  allocated lands from ecozones to accrue mainly to  BCDA is inconsistent with  government’s one-fund policy, limiting its fiscal flexibility in deciding fund utilization for more pressing concerns.

In addition, bill antithetically grants  BCDA  authority to determine alienable and disposable lands,  clearly falls under  mandate of  Department of Environment and Natural Resources, he said.

Marcos added  bill’s language granting land ownership and authority to  BCDA in disposing of lands contradicts Republic v. Heirs of Bernabe,  provides  state is  beneficial owner of  lands transferred to  BCDA by virtue of Republic Act 7227.

Created in 1992,  BCDA is  government-owned and -controlled corporation, mandated to transform former US military bases into alternative productive civilian use.
