“A RESOLUTION STRONGLY PROPOSING AMENDMENT TO THE

AO 21-2011, WITH TOTAL DISREGARD OF THE OFFICE DRAFT

NATIONAL SECTORAL ASSEMBLY”

Whereas, RA 8425 mandates the conduct of National Assembly for the election of
the 25 council members at most for each of the fourteen (14) basic sectors and election of
Vice-Chair for the Basic Sectors from among the fourteen (14) Sectoral Representatives;

whereas, the NAPC WISC found that some provisions of the A0 21, series of
2011 are inconsistent with the RA 8425 as enumerated in the attachment “A” to this
Resolution and violation of Freedom of Association:

whereas the Office text of draft amendment of June 07, 2019 aggravated the
problem of inconsistencies and violation of freedon of association, thus, total disregard is
rhe agreement of This Council;

whereas, the Conduct of National Assembly has been long overdue;

whereas, to correct the inconsistencies of the A0 21, series of 2011, the NAPC
WISC strongly propose amendment after a thorough review of the law and the AO 21-
2011 and thereby repealing it.

Resolved to submit to the NAPC Secretariat proposed amendments to be titled as

A0 21-series of 2020 for the required process among the Basic Sectors;

RESOLVED further to provide copies to the Sectoral Representatives of the Basic

Sectors for consensus building.
