Department of National Defense(DND)

I am reaching out to request your assistance in obtaining a copy of DND Department Circular Nos. 23-2019 and 13-2020. One of our UP College of Law faculties urgently needs these documents for research purposes.

Unfortunately, we don't have a copy of these circulars in our Law Library, and I was hoping you could provide us with one. Your help would be greatly appreciated .

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
