functions. Through Presidential Decree 813 in 1975, and
Executive Order 927 in 1983, its powers and functions were
further strengthened to include environmental protection and
jurisdiction over the lake basin’s surface water. In 1993,
through Executive Order 149, the administrative supervision
over LLDA was transferred from the Office of the President
to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). |
