Under the Tariff Commission Rationalization Plan, which executive order created two services?

• A. Executive Order No. 143, s. 2000
• B. RA 10900
• C. Executive Order No. 366, s. 2004
• D. Executive Order No. 500, s. 2001

Answer: (C)

Organizational restructuring to improve efficiency and clarity of responsibilities is what this item focuses on. The Tariff Commission Rationalization Plan aimed to streamline how the agency operates by creating two distinct services within the Commission—one focused on policy, planning, and analysis, and the other handling administrative and technical support. This split helps ensure that analysts can concentrate on tariff policy and economic work while support units manage operations, budgeting, and services, leading to clearer accountability and more effective delivery.

Executive Order No. 366, series 2004, is the instrument that implemented this two-service structure for the Tariff Commission as part of the rationalization effort. The other options refer to different years or laws and do not enact this particular reorganization of the Commission.
