DECLARING SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER THE FIRST, NINETEEN HUNDRED AND FORTY-SIX, NATIONAL FOOD PRODUCTION DAY.

WHEREAS it is imperative that the campaign for
production of foodstuffs and other articles necessary for the sustenance of our
people be intensified in order to prevent widespread misery and starvation;

WHEREAS in order to attain the aims of the food
production campaign, it is necessary to focus national attention to the grave
situation now facing the country by fixing a date on which all the people may
devote all their time, thoughts and energies to helping in the solution of the
acute food problem:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Manuel Roxas, President of the
Philippines, do hereby proclaim Sunday, September 1, 1946, National Food
Production Day, and call upon all citizens and residents of the Philippines to
immediately undertake the production of more foodstuffs and otherwise carry
into effect the aims of the food production campaign now being waged all over
the country. Every family should at once have its own home garden and poultry
or piggery to assure it of at least some of its essential food requirements.
Owners of all vacant or idle urban and rural lands should plant or cause the
said lands to be planted to food crops or devoted to some form of food
production.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be affixed.

Done at the City of Manila, this 7^th
day of August, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-six, and of
the Independence of the Philippines, the first.

(Sgd.) MANUEL ROXAS

President of the Philippines
