What is the principle of Adminsitrative Remedies?

The Principle of Adminsitrative Remedies are held whenever there is an available

administrative remedy provided by law, no judicial resources can be made until all such
remedies have been availed of and exhausted.

The rationale behind the principle are the following:

▪ To provide an orderly procedure prescribed by law with respect to matters
peculiarly within the competence of the adminsitrative agency;
▪ To give the agency an opportunity to decide on its own matters and to correct its
own errors; and
▪ To prevent unnecessary and premature resort to the court.

Exclusive Powers reserved for the Executive Department:

1. Power to Enforce and Administer the laws

The Supreme Court said that as the administrative head of the government, the
President is vested with the power to execute, administer, and carry out laws into
practical operation. Executive power, then, is the power of carrying out the laws into
practical operation and enforcing their due observance.

2. Power of Control

According to Sec17, Article VII of the Constitution, The President shall have the
control of all the executive departments, bureaus and offices.

Control is the power of an officer to alter or modify or nullify or set aside what a
subordinate officer had done in the performance of his duties and to substitute the
judgment of the former for that of the former.

3. Military Powers

The calling out of the armed forces to prevent or suppress lawless violence is a
power that the Constitution direclty vests in the President. She did not need a
congressional authority to exercise the same.
