"Executive Order No. 392 is not a misapplication of Republic Act No. 8180;

Sections 5(b), 6 and 9(b) of Republic Act No. 8180 do not contravene section 19, Article XII of the Constitution; and

Sections 5(b), 6 and 9(b) of R.A. No. 8180 do not permeate the essence of the said law; hence their nullity will not vitiate the other parts thereof."
