    committed, is being committed, or has been committed by his subordinates,
    or by others within his area of responsibility and, despite such knowledge, he
    did not take preventive or corrective action either before, during, or
    immediately after its commission.

    SECTION 2. Presumption of Knowledge. A government official or


    supervisor, or PNP commander, is presumed to have knowledge of the
    commission of irregularities or criminal offenses in any of the following
    circumstances:

    jurisdiction;
    b. When the irregularities or illegal acts have been repeatedly or regularly
    committed within his area of responsibility; or
    c. When members of his immediate staff or office personnel are involved.
    SEC. 3. Implementing Rules and Regulations. The National Police
    Commission (NAPOLCOM) in coordination with the Department of Interior and
    Local Government (DILG) and the Civil Service Commission (CSC) shall
    promulgate the necessary rules and regulations of this Executive Order
    within thirty (30) days after the issuance thereof.
    SEC. 4. Administrative Liability. Any violation of this Executive Order by
    any government official, supervisor, officer of the PNP and that of any law
    enforcement agency shall be held administratively accountable for violation
    of existing laws, rules and regulations.
