DECLARING THE PERIOD FROM FEBRUARY 3 TO 9 OF EVERY YEAR AS NATIONAL DENTAL HEALTH WEEK.

WHEREAS, the dental profession plays a vital role
in the maintenance of a healthy citizenry;

WHEREAS, one of the greatest obstacles
encountered by the dental profession in its mission of health service is the
people’s lack of appreciation of the importance of dental hygiene; and

WHEREAS, to enable the dental profession to carry
out its mission more effectively, it is necessary to arouse dental health
consciousness among the people;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Elpidio Quirino, President of
the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby declare
the period from February 3 to 9 of every year as National Dental Health Week.

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 24th 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
