DESIGNATING THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 15 TO FEBRUARY 14, 1951, AS THE PERIOD FOR THE NATIONAL CAMPAIGN OF THE GIRL SCOUTS OF THE PHILIPPINES IN PLACES OUTSIDE OF GREATER MANILA.

WHEREAS, the Girl Scouts of the Philippines is a
public corporation, non-political, non-sectarian, and non-profit making in
nature, created by law for the noble and lofty purpose of developing the
character of our young girls as a preparation for their responsibilities in the
home and to their country;

WHEREAS, although its activities are national in
scope, it has to depend largely, as a member of the Community Chest, on
contributions solicited within the territorial limits of Greater Manila;

WHEREAS, the Girl Scouts of the Philippines
desires to conduct a national campaign for funds with which to maintain,
finance and promote its various activities for the attainment of its
objectives;

WHEREAS, it would certainly redound to the
benefit of the country as a whole and its members in particular, if the Girl
Scouting Program were made available to our young girls all over the Islands;

WHEREAS, in due recognition of its’ achievements
in character development and of its priceless services in promoting the moral,
spiritual and physical welfare of the Filipino girls, it is our civic
obligation to extend to the Girl Scouts of the Philippines not only moral
encouragement but also material support in order that it may continue in the
arduous and selfless task of training and moulding every girl in our country to
be a patriotic, God-fearing, upright, useful, decent and responsible citizen;

WHEREAS, the annual fund campaign affords our
people the rare privilege and opportunity to give a tangible expression of
their appreciation of the good work being undertaken by the Girl Scouts of the
Philippines; and

WHEREAS, funds are required for the effective and
continued furtherance of its operation in the intensification of its
nation-wide training and recruiting program so that it can accommodate the
greater number of girls of Scout age desiring admission into the organization
in the promotion of other activities that greatly benefit its members and in
meeting its obligations as an independent organization and as a member of the
Girl Guides and Girl Scouts of the World Association;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Elpidio Quirino, President of
the Philippines, do hereby set aside the period from January 15 to February 14,
1951, for the Girl Scouts of the Philippines to conduct its 1951 Fund Campaign
in the provinces and territories outside of Greater Manila and raise funds for
the attainment of its aims and purposes. I enjoin all government officials and
employees and all citizens and residents of the Philippines outside of Greater
Manila to assist wholeheartedly in the campaign and to give their utmost support
so that the Girl Scouts of the Philippines may be assured of funds that will
enable it to carry on its work and administer its program to as many girls of
Scout age as possible. I also authorize all national authorities and teachers
to accept for the Girl Scouts of the Philippines, fund-raising responsibilities
and urge them to give active support and leadership in their respective
communities.

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

Done in the City of Manila, this 15th day of
January, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-one, and of the
Independence of the Philippines, the fifth.

ELPIDIO QUIRINO
President of the Philippines
