“All other departments, bureaus, agencies, and instrumentalities of government, including government-owned or -controlled corporations, and state universities and colleges, are hereby directed to render full support and assistance, consistent with their respective mandates, to the PHISGOC in the preparatory activities for the Philippines’ hosting of the 30th SEA Games including, among others, procurement of necessary materials and equipment, provision of support services, and acceptance of donations, in accordance with existing laws, rules, and regulations,” it added.
