Practice question
An LGU prepares a new SMV after RA 12001. Officials insist that enactment by the sanggunian under old LGC Section 212 alone completes approval, without the PVS compliance review and Secretary of Finance certification required by the new Act. Which response is correct?
- RA 12001 repealed Section 212 and establishes the current preparation, review and certification framework; the old route alone is insufficient
- The old section overrides every later law
- PVS applies only to foreign properties
- The sanggunian may dispense with every statutory valuation safeguard
- A private appraisal automatically replaces the national framework
