AUTHORIZING THE PHILIPPINE CANCER SOCIETY, INC., TO CONDUCT A NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL, MEMBERSHIP, AND FUND DRIVE DURING THE PERIOD FROM DECEMBER 1, 1962, TO JANUARY 31, 1963

WHEREAS, cancer being one of the
most dreaded killer-diseases in the Philippines today, its prevention and
control are matters of urgent and nation-wide 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 18,000
patients since the organization 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 December 1, 1962, to
January 31, 1963. 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
8th day of November, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and sixty-two.

DIOSDADO MACAPAGAL
