Rationalization Plan
Background
In an effort to make the government
effective notwithstanding its limited
resources, President Gloria Macapagal-
Arroyo signed Executive Order (EO) 366 on
04 October 2004. With its implementing
rules and regulations signed on 11 May
2005 by then DBM Secretary, the late
Emilia T. Boncodin, Departments under
the Executive Branch were directed to take
a strategic review of their operations and
organizations.
Through EO 366, ASTI prepared its
Rationalization Plan (RP) with the objective
of focusing its efforts and scarce resources
on its vital/core functions, improve
its quality of services by eliminating
overlaps and duplication and improving
its performance by rationalizing its
service delivery and support systems, and
organization structure and staffing.
