On 14 May 2015, the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) approved
Board Resolution No. 15-04-5389 (14 May 2015), otherwise known as the Guidelines
for the Automatic Renewal of Registration of Subic Bay Freeport Enterprises.
Its salient points are as follows:
|
"All
recommendations for suspension, revocation and cancellation of CR or CRTE
shall be evaluated by the SDABI[4] xxx” (Section
