Republic of the Philippines said officers must observe when they make their distribution. There is none.

SUPREME COURT Their options are apparently boundless. Who shall be the fortunate
Manila beneficiaries of their generosity and by what criteria shall they be chosen?
EN BANC Only the officers named can supply the answer, they and they alone may
choose the grantee as they see fit, and in their own exclusive discretion.
G.R. No. 74457 March 20, 1987
Definitely, there is here a roving commission, a wide and sweeping
RESTITUTO YNOT, petitioner, authority that is not canalized within banks that keep it from overflowing,
