DESIGNATING THE THIRD WEEK OF FEBRUARY OF EVERY YEAR AS PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION WEEK

WHEREAS, Proclamation No. 357,
series of 1956, has set aside the second week of November of every year as
Public Administration Week;

WHEREAS, the said designated
week has been found to be impractical and unsuitable for the holding of Public
Administration Week in view of the fact that every two years it coincides with
the general elections in November; and

WHEREAS, the Council of
Administrative Management recommends that Public Administration Week every year
be observed in the third week of February;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Diosdado
Macapagal, President of Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by
law, do hereby declare the third week of February of every year as Public
Administration Week, and designate the Council of Administrative Management to
coordinate and take charge of the annual nation-wide celebration.

I hereby call upon all
government officials and leaders of private business and industry; professional
management and public administration specialists; cultural, civic, religious,
and educational associations and organizations; the press, the radio, and all
other interested in a sound system of public administration to extend their
active support and participation in making this annual event an occasion for
specially focusing attention and channelling the resources of the nation
towards making the government more efficient, economical, and effective in
promoting the welfare and well-being of our people.

Proclamation No. 357, dated
October 12, 1956, is hereby revoked.

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
13th day of February, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and
sixty-three.

DIOSDADO MACAPAGAL
President of the Philippines
