Corporate Secretary Rotation Resolution

Summary

In Philippine corporation law, annual elections for officers, including designated signatories, are required even if the term is less than 2 years. A bank signatory need not be a corporate officer, as the board can authorize any individual. A Secretarys Certificate can inform banks of designated signatories. A corporate resolution can allow two individuals to serve as Corporate Secretary on a rotational basis, detailing their terms and responsibilities.

is it necessary even if the term is less than 2 years
In Philippine corporation law, the election of officers, including designated signatories, is still necessary even if the term is less than 2 years. The Revised Corporation Code requires annual elections by the board of directors.
Do you need more specific details or have other questions regarding corporate governance?
under PH corp law, is the signatory in the bank of a corporation necessarily an officer of the corporation
No, under Philippine Corporation Law, a bank signatory of a corporation is not necessarily required to be an officer of the corporation. The board of directors has the discretion to authorize any person to act as a signatory, as long as such authorization is properly documented and approved.
