    Sec. 18. When Laws Take Effect. - Laws shall take effect after fifteen

    Gazette or in a newspaper of general circulation, unless it is otherwise
    provided.

    Sec. 19. Prospectivity. - Laws shall have prospective effect unless


    the contrary is expressly provided.

    Sec. 20. Interpretation of Laws and Administrative Issuances. - In


    the interpretation of a law or administrative issuance promulgated in

    otherwise specifically provided. In case of ambiguity, omission or
    mistake, the other texts may be consulted.

    Sec. 21. No Implied Revival of Repealed Law.- When a law which


    expressly repeals a prior law itself repealed, the law first repealed
    shall not be thereby revived unless expressly so provided.

    Sec. 22. Revival of Law Impliedly Repealed. - When a law which


    impliedly repeals a prior law is itself repealed, the prior law shall
    thereby be revived, unless the repealing law provides otherwise.

    courts of similar rank, as may be deemed by said courts of sufficient
    importance to be so published; such documents or classes of
    documents as may be required so to be published by law; and such
    documents or classes of documents as the President shall determine
    from time to time to have general application or which he may
    authorize so to be published.
