Former President Estrada’s Executive Order 138 which limited state lending to financial institutions in the Philippines has been repealed. Current President Macapagal-Arroyo’s issue of Executive Order 558 (EO 558) allows government nonfinancial agencies and government-owned and controlled corporations to lend.
