DESIGNATING THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 7 TO FEBRUARY 6, 1950, AS THE PERIOD FOR THE NATIONAL FUND CAMPAIGN OF THE BOY SCOUTS AND THE GIRL SCOUTS OF THE PHILIPPINES IN PLACES OUTSID…

WHEREAS, the Boy Scouts of the Philippines and
the Girl Scouts of the Philippines are public corporations created by law for
the purpose of promoting the character development and citizenship training of
the youth of the land;

WHEREAS, the activities of these two
organizations are national in scope but as members of the Community Chest they
benefit only from contributions derived within the territorial limits of
Greater Manila;

WHEREAS, these two organizations have more than
amply demonstrated that they merit the continued moral encouragement and
material support of our people and that there is a great need for these
organizations to make the Scouting Program available to the thousands of boys
and girls all over the Philippines;

WHEREAS, the Boy Scouts of the Philippines and
the Girl Scouts of the Philippines are in need of funds to carry on their
operations effectively, to intensify their nation-wide training and recruiting
program so that the great number of boys and girls of Scout age seeking
admission into the two organizations may be enrolled, to plan and promote other
programs of activity for the greater benefit of their members, and to meet
their obligations as members of international associations; and

WHEREAS, the annual campaign, aside from offering
us an opportunity to give tangible expression to our appreciation for the good
work being done by the Boy Scouts of the Philippines and the Girl Scouts of the
Philippines, also affords a means by which we can meet a civic obligation by
helping these organizations train and mold every boy and girl in the land to
be a patriotic, God-fearing, upright, clean and responsible citizen;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Elpidio Quirino, President of
the Philippines, do hereby set aside the period from January 7 to February 6,
1950, for the Boy Scouts of the Philippines and its sister organization, the
Girl Scouts of the Philippines, to conduct their 1950 Fund Campaigns in the
provinces and territories outside of Greater Manila and raise funds for the
attainment of their aims and purposes, either jointly or separately, as the
officials of both organizations may decide. I call upon all government
officials and employees and all citizens and residents of the Philippines
outside of Greater Manila to assist in this campaign and to give it their
entire support so that the Boy Scouts of the Philippines and the Girl Scouts of
the Philippines may be assured of funds that will enable them to carrion their
work and administer their programs to as many of our boys and girls of Scout
age as possible. I also authorize all national authorities and teachers to
accept, for the Boy Scouts of the Philippines and the Girl Scouts of the
Philippines, fund-raising responsibilities and urge them to give active support
and leadership in their respective communities.

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 5th day of
January, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty, and of the
Independence of the Philippines, the fourth.

ELPIDIO QUIRINO
President of the Philippines
