DESIGNATING THE PERIOD FROM SEPTEMBER 15 TO OCTOBER 31, 1947 AS THE PERIOD FOR THE NATIONAL FUND CAMPAIGN OF THE GIRL SCOUTS OF THE PHILIPPINES.

WHEREAS, the Girl Scouts of the Philippines, a
public corporation created by Commonwealth Act No. 542 for the purpose of
helping girls from 7 to 18  years of age to realize the ideals of
womanhood as a preparation for their responsibilities in the home and service
to the community, plans to conduct a national fund campaign for funds with which
to maintain finance and promote its various activities to attain the objectives
for which it was created;

WHEREAS, in recognition of the splendid 
accomplishments in character development and in promoting the moral and bodily
welfare of the Filipino girls, the Girl Scouts of the Philippines deserves to
receive the continued moral  and material encouragement and support on the
part of our people so that it may be able to carry on its laudable work
effectively;

WHEREAS, the Girl Scouts of the Philippines needs
financial assistance to enable it to meet not only its essential requirements
as an independent organization but also the necessary expenses that would be
entailed in connection with the selection of the Philippines as the hostess
country for the Juliette Low International Camp for girl scouts all over the
world;

WHEREAS, the proposed fund campaign will afford
our people the rare privilege and opportunity to express in a tangible way
their appreciation of the good work being undertaken by the Girl Scouts of the
Philippines;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Manuel Roxas, President of the
Philippines, do hereby designate and set aside the period from September 15 to
October 31, 1947 as a special one for the conduct of the 1947 National Fund
Campaign of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines to raise funds for the purposes
mentioned above.  I also call upon all government officials and employees
and all citizens and residents of  the Philippines to assist in this
campaign and to give their whole-hearted support and cooperation so that the
organization may be assured of funds sorely needed to carry on its work in
every part of the Philippines.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be affixed.

Done at the City of Manila, this 16^th
day of June, in the year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and forty-seven, and of
the Independence of the Philippines, the first.
