\nUnder Executive Order (EO) 108 inked by Duterte on March 18, the dividend rate of LBP is adjusted for zero percent from the current 50 percent of its annual earnings.<\/p>\n

Duterte made the downward adjustment of the LBP\u2019s net earnings following the recommendation of Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III.<\/p>\n

The reduction was meant to \u201csupport the viability and mandate of the LBP, its liquidity, capital position, and medium-term plans and programs, in the interest of national economy and general welfare,\u201d according to the order.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe adjusted dividend rate set forth in Section 1 of this Order is only applicable to the LBP for CY (calendar year) 2018,\u201d EO 108 read.<\/p>\n

Under Republic Act (RA) 7656, all government-owned or -controlled corporations (GOCCs) are mandated to declare and remit at least 50 percent of their annual net earnings as cash, stock or property dividends to the national government.<\/p>\n

The President of the Philippines, however, may adjust the percentage of annual net earnings to be declared by a GOCC, the RA 7656 notes.<\/p>\n

EO 108 takes effect immediately.<\/p>\n

Malaca\u00f1ang released a copy of the order on Thursday or a day after it was signed by Duterte.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
