PROCLAMATION NO. 478, September 28, 2003
NAMING THE LOCATION OF THE BEDROOM USED BY PRESIDENT DIOSDADO MACAPAGAL AS THE MACAPAGAL ROOM
WHEREAS, every past administration in the country reflects a particular period in our nation’s rich history; and
WHEREAS, it is only fitting and proper that Malacañang Palace, residence and office of the President of the Philippines should recognize the historic connection past presidents have with Malacañang Palace.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the authority vested in me by law, do hereby name the location of the bedroom in Malacañang Palace used by President Diosdado Macapagal, as the Macapagal Room, in recognition of the historic value of the room in which he stayed, thereby serving as a tangible reminder of President Diosdado Macapagal’s administration.
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 28th day of September, in the year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Three.
By the President:
(Sgd.) ALBERTO G. ROMULO
