How are corporations created by special laws governed, relative to the Code?
Corporations established by special laws or specific charters are primarily governed by the unique provisions contained within that special law or charter (SEC. 4, Revised Corporation Code of the Philippines). The Revised Corporation Code then serves a supplemental function to these primary provisions. It applies only insofar as its provisions are pertinent and consistent with the core mandate and structure established by the special law. This ensures that the unique regulatory framework intended for these specialized corporations remains paramount.
