PROCLAIMING MAY 27, 1963, AS TOWN PLANNING DAY

WHEREAS, in all progressive countries of the
world today physical planning of cities and towns is recognized as an essential
governmental function;

WHEREAS, most of our cities and towns today have
grown without benefit of proper planning guidance, resulting in their haphazard
growth;

WHEREAS, this Administration is cognizant of the
principles of sound physical planning and development as a means of promoting
good civic design and arrangement, healthy and orderly environment, and in
contributing to the economic and social upliftment of our people; and

WHEREAS, in order to instill town planning
consciousness among our people, it is fitting and proper that May 27, 1963,
which coincides with the first day of the Town Planning Convention to be held
in Manila from May 27 to 29, 1963, be declared as Town Planning Day;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Diosdado Macapagal, President
of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby
declare May 27, 1963, as Town Planning Day.

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 21st day of May,
in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and sixty-three.

DIOSDADO MACAPAGAL
President of the Philippines

By the President:

SALVADOR L. MARIÑO
Executive Secretary
