QuestionsQuestions (PROCLAMATION NO. 523)
It declared Monday, 02 July 2018, as a special (non-working) day in the City of Pasig.
It stated that Pasig City would mark its 445th Anniversary on 02 July 2018 and that it is fitting to give the people full opportunity to celebrate with appropriate ceremonies.
It states that the Acting Executive Secretary acted “by authority of the President.”
Its effect is limited to the City of Pasig, as it “declares” the special non-working day specifically “in the City of Pasig.”
Generally, it makes the day a non-working holiday/special day for employees and the public within the locality covered, subject to the usual rules on essential services and work arrangements (e.g., where work cannot be suspended).
Government offices in Pasig City are generally expected to observe the day as non-working for that locality, though operations in essential services and activities that cannot be suspended may continue.
No. The text focuses on declaring the day. This matters because pay rules are typically governed by labor laws and implementing regulations; the proclamation alone may not specify compensation.
It was signed/dated June 22, 2018, but it declared the special non-working day for Monday, 02 July 2018.
“WHEREAS” clauses provide the facts and reasons, while “NOW, THEREFORE” states the operative directive (the actual legal declaration).
It indicates that the proclamation is part of presidential action, with the Acting Executive Secretary signing by authority of the President, referencing the President’s administration through the document’s format.
These are formal execution elements showing that the instrument was duly signed and executed, including the place and date of signing.
The proclamation’s coverage is tied to the locality declared (Pasig City). Generally, the workplace/local observance governs, though specific application can depend on employer location, assignment, and relevant labor rules.
It would generally support suspending or modifying activities scheduled for a non-working day in Pasig City, unless the activity is essential or requires continued operations; local ordinances and agency guidelines may further implement the effect.
