PROVIDING FOR THE ELECTION OF MEMBERS OF THE PROVINCIAL BOARD IN THE PROVINCE OF SULU

WHEREAS, Republic Act No. 59 has declared the
offices of governor and members of the provincial board in the province of Sulu
to be elective when the President of the Philippines shall have ascertained and
shall so declare by proclamation that the people of said province are ready to
elect their provincial governor and the members of the provincial board;

Whereas, under the conditions prevailing in the said
province it would see advisable at the present time to authorize the election
of only the members of the provincial board as an initial step in the
establishment therein of a system of government similar in every respect with
the government of regular provinces to afford the people residing therein the
opportunity to manage their own affairs to the fullest extent of which they are
capable;

Now, therefore, I, Manuel Roxas, President of the
Philippines, pursuant to the authority vested in me under Republic Act No. 59,
hereby authorize the election of the two members of the provincial board in the
province of Sulu in the next regular election for provincial offices throughout
the Philippines, in accordance with the provisions of the Revised Election Code.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be affixed.

Done at the City of Manila, this 26^th
day of August, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and forty-seven, and
of the Independence of the Philippines, the second.

(Sgd.) MANUEL ROXAS

President of the Philippines
