The presence of at least five (5) members shall constitute a quorum, and the majority vote of the members present, there being a quorum, shall be necessary for the adoption of any resolution, decision, rule, regulation, or any other act of the Board.

“For every meeting actually attended, each member of the Board shall receive a per diem of P300.00, unless the Board shall fix a higher amount therefor.”

SEC. 2. The present members of the Board shall hold-over until their successors shall have been duly appointed and qualified pursuant to this Executive Order; Provided, That the Ministers of Finance and Trade and Industry, or their duly designated representatives, shall immediately sit as members of the existing Board.
