    Uploaded by

    Nicole Stephanie Wee
    Emmanuel Pelaez, as Vice President and taxpayer, filed a special civil action against the Auditor General to prohibit the auditing of any public funds used to implement 33 executive orders by President Marcos creating new municipalities. Pelaez argued the executive orders were null and void as Section 68 of the Revised Administrative Code, the authority cited, had been repealed. The Auditor General disagreed and said the action was premature since not all relevant parties, such as officials of the new municipalities, had been included.

    22_Pelaez v Auditor General

    Petitioner: EMMANUEL PELAEZ,

    Respondent: THE AUDITOR GENERAL

    Summary:

    Doctrine:

    Facts:

     During the period from September 4 to October 29, 1964 the President of the Philippines
    (Marcos), purporting to act pursuant to Section 68 of the Revised Administrative Code,
    issued Executive Orders Nos. 93 to 121, 124 and 126 to 129; creating thirty-three (33)
    municipalities enumerated
     petitioner Emmanuel Pelaez, as Vice President of the Philippines and as taxpayer, instituted
    the present special civil action, for a writ of prohibition with preliminary injunction, against the
    Auditor General, to restrain him, as well as his representatives and agents, from passing in
    audit any expenditure of public funds in implementation of said executive orders and/or any
    disbursement by said municipalities.
     Petitioner alleges that said executive orders are null and void, upon the ground that said
    Section 68 has been impliedly repealed by Republic Act No. 2370 and constitutes an undue
    delegation of legislative power.
     Respondent maintains the contrary view and avers that the present action is premature and
    that not all proper parties — referring to the officials of the new political subdivisions in
    question — have been impleaded.
