SB 803
Senate·20th Congress·Filed Aug 4, 2025
National Archives and Records Management Authority (Narma) Act
An Act Repealing Republic Act No. 9470, Reorganizing and Renaming the National Archives of the Philippines as the National Archives and Records Management Authority (Narma), Defining Its Mandate, Powers, and Functions, Strengthening the Management and Preservation of Public Records and Archival Heritage, and for Other Purposes
In plain language
The bill would replace the current National Archives with a new agency, NARMA, that would be the sole authority for preserving, managing, and providing public access to all government records—both paper and digital. It requires every agency to set up a records office, creates regional archives, establishes standards for electronic records, and gives NARMA powers to enforce compliance, collect fines, and protect culturally important archives.
