RULING
President has continuing authority to reorganize the
executive department as expressly granted under E.O.
292. The reorganization did not entail the creation of a
new, separate and distinct office. It was merely a transfer
of functions, which is allowed under the Admin Code; and
lastly, there is no usurpation of the legislative power to
appropriate public funds because the funds to be used are
from that of his office. He is explicitly allowed by law to
transfer any fund appropriated for the agencies and
offices of the Executive Department included in the GAA
to any program, project or activity of any of the same
included in the GAA or approved after its enactment.
The Probation Law does not fix nor impose upon the
provincial boards, any standard or guide in the exercise of
their discretionary power. What is granted is a ROVING
COMMISSION which enables them to exercise arbitrary
discretion. In reality, the Legislature has left the entire matter
to provincial boards to determine. The legislature has not
made the operation of the Law contingent upon any specified
