The text references Proclamation No. 156 (February 8, 2023), which declares Tuesday, 4 April 2023, as a special (non-working) day in the City of Antipolo, Province of Rizal, to mark its 25th cityhood anniversary.
It is declared for Tuesday, 04 April 2023.
It applies in the City of Antipolo, Province of Rizal.
It is tied to the celebration of Antipolo City’s 25th Cityhood Anniversary.
It was signed by Lucas P. Bersamin in his capacity as Executive Secretary, by authority of the President.
The proclamation states it is by authority of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
The “WHEREAS” clauses set out the factual and legal basis for the action—here, that Antipolo will mark its 25th Cityhood Anniversary and that it is proper to allow full opportunity to celebrate.
It implies that, for that locality, work is generally not required for the declared date because it is a special non-working day.
The proclamation is stated to be done on the 7th day of February 2023 in Manila; this is the issuance date when the executive act was formally signed.
It states that the seal of the Republic of the Philippines is affixed, reflecting formal state authentication and ceremonial legal formality.
Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. is explicitly named as the President whose authority is being exercised.
First, Antipolo will mark its 25th Cityhood Anniversary on 4 April 2023; second, it is fitting and proper to give people full opportunity to celebrate with appropriate ceremonies.
It is local in scope, as it specifically declares the day special (non-working) “in the City of Antipolo, Province of Rizal.”
It prevents confusion by identifying the exact calendar day (Tuesday, 04 April 2023) on which the non-working status applies.
