Dear Kier De Torres,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Mar 04, 2020 01:36:58 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Definition of Implementing rules and regulations.

Response to your request

We were able to determine that this particular information is already available online and therefore cannot be counted as a valid FOI request. You may retrieve your requested information from several online sources such as https://bap.org.ph/legislation-and-regulations/relevant-laws-implementing-rules-regulations/ or here: http://www.sec.gov.ph/laws-rules-decisions-and-resolutions/securities-and-exchange-commission-implementing-rules-and-regulations/

You will notice from those examples that an IRR (in Government parlance) is generally a set of rules defined by known authorities which serve as guidelines for the implementation of a law, Republic Act, Executive Order, and the like.

Your right to request a review

If you are unhappy with this response to your FOI request, you may ask us to carry out an internal review of the response by writing to fro.upbaguio@up.edu.ph.
