It likewise sees to it that BOC resolutions and decisions are implemented including all programs and projects and that the Secretariat provides the administrative support needed by the Subcommissions, National Committees, stakeholders, and general need of the office personnel.

The Legal Office also liaises with the Office of the Solicitor General [which is the official Legal Adviser likewise of the BOC] in terms of concerns on heritage issues and other external concerns and representations of the Commission in the implementation of its mandate and functions for arts and culture.
