DESIGNATING THE SECOND WEEK OF OCTOBER OF EVERY YEAR AS COURTESY WEEK

WHEREAS, Republic Act No. 2260, otherwise known
as the Civil Service Act of 1959, lays emphasis on a civil service that is
honest, efficient, progressive, and courteous;

WHEREAS, much criticism has been heaped upon the
public service for acts of discourtesy committed by some government officials
and employees;

WHEREAS, an isolated case of discourtesy reflects
adversely on the entire government service; and

WHEREAS, a week dedicated to courtesy would
project its importance and reorient government employees to this indispensable
attribute of public service;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Diosdado Macapagal, President
of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby
declare the second week of October of every year as Courtesy Week, and
designate the Civil Service Commission to coordinate and take charge of the
occasion.

I hereby call upon all government officials and
employees and leaders of private business and industry; professional management
and public administration specialists; government, professional, civic,
cultural, religious, and educational associations and organizations; the press,
the radio, and all others interested in promoting a courteous civil service to
extend their cooperation, active support, and participation in making this
annual event 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 2nd day of
September, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and sixty-three.

DIOSDADO MACAPAGAL
President of the Philippines
