This memorandum amends an earlier COA memorandum regarding the posting of signboards for government projects. It adds requirements that signboards must display the contractor's license number and classification in order to help enforce a law requiring licensed contractors. This is in response to a request from the Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board to help ensure only licensed contractors bid on and undertake construction projects in the Philippines as required by law.
