WHEREAS, cancer being one of the most dreaded
killer-diseases in the Philippines today, its prevention and control are
matters of urgent and nationwide concern;

WHEREAS, the Philippine Cancer Society, Inc., has
successfully pioneered and spearheaded the move towards the prevention and
control of cancer through the work and activities of its Detection and
Diagnostic Center which has already served free more than 14,000 patients since
the oranization of the Society four years ago;

WHEREAS, the progress which the Society has
achieved in the pursuit of its objectives can also be attributed to its
statistical research program combined with its efforts to disseminate
information on the disease, particularly its prevention and control; and

WHEREAS, the Society, conscious of the need to
continue to render its free medical services to the public as shown by a
tremendous increase in the number of patients flocking daily to the Center, has
decided to carry on its work and to expand its activities to reach other parts
of the country;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Diosdado Macapagal, President
of the Philippines, by virtue of the authority vested in me by law, do hereby
authorize the Philippine Cancer Society, Inc., to conduct a national
educational, membership, and fund campaign from January 15 to March 31, 1962. I
call upon all citizens and residents of the Philippines, irrespective of
nationality, race, or creed, to assist in this humanitarian campaign by giving
generously of their means so that it may be a complete success. I also
authorize and call on all national, provincial, city, and municipal government
officials, and employees to extend full and unconditional cooperation to make
this campaign a success.

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 1st day of
February, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and sixty-two, and of the
Independence of the Philippines, the sixteenth.
