DECLARING THE LAST WEEK OF OCTOBER, 1953, AS PROFESSIONAL WEEK

WHEREAS, it is desirable that services of
professional men and women be rendered with maximum efficiency, conformably
with the latest progress achieved in the arts, sciences, or technology, and in
keeping with the well-recognized ethical rules in the practice of the different
professions;

WHEREAS, the growing participation and
responsibilities of professionals in the life of the community demand that a
period be set aside dedicated to the attainment of higher ethical standards and
improved professional skill and knowledge;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Elpidio Quirino, President of
the Philippines, do hereby proclaim the last week of October, 1953, as
Professional Week. All professional groups falling under the board of
examiners, the various bar associations, the different universities and
colleges offering courses for the practice of professions are hereby enjoined
to observe this week with appropriate celebrations intended to lay the groundwork
for the coordination of the different activities and services of the members of
each profession to the end that such services may be improved for the good of
all and that there be a reappraisal and renovation of professional, moral,
social and spiritual values as important factors affecting the lives of
professional men and women of this country.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be affixed.
