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

WHEREAS, the Boy Scouts of the Philippines, a
public corporation created under Commonwealth Act No. Ill for the purpose of
promoting1 the character development and citizenship training of the youth of
the land, conducts an annual nation-wide campaign for funds, outside of Greater
Manila, with which to realize its avowed aims, including the development and
expansion of essential services necessary for the accomplishment of its
mission;

Whereas, the activities of the organization are
national in scope but as a member of the Community Chest it benefits only from
contributions derived within the territorial limits of Greater Manila;

WHEREAS, the organization has more than amply
demonstrated that it merits and deserves the continued moral encouragement and
material support of our people and that there is a great need for it to make
the Scouting Program available to the thousands of boys all over the
Philippines;

WHEREAS, the Boy Scouts of the Philippines is in
need of funds to carry on its annual operations effectively, to intensify its
nation-wide training and recruiting program so that great number of boys of
Scout age seeking admission into the organization may be enrolled, to plan and
promote other programs of activity for the benefit of its member, and to meet
its obligations as a member of the International Scout Body; and

WHEREAS, the annual fund campaign, aside from
offering us an opportunity to express in a concrete and tangible way or
appreciation for the good work being done by the Boy Scouts of the Philippines,
affords a means by which we may meet a civic obligation to our country by
helping the Youth Organization train and mould every boy in the land to be a
clean, upright, responsible, patriotic and God-fearing citizen;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Elpidio Quirino, President of
the Philippines, do hereby designate and set aside the period from January 15
to February 14, 1951, for the Boy 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 avowed aims and purposes. I call upon all
government officials and employees and all citizens and residents of the
Philippines outside of Greater Manila to assist in this campaign and to give it
their entire support so that the Boy Scouts of the Philippines will be assured
of funds that will enable it to carry on its work all over the country and
administer its program to as many of our boys of Scout age as possible. I also
authorize all national authorities and teachers to accept, for the Boy 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 8th 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
