QuestionsQuestions (DDB BOARD REGULATION NO. 2, SERIES OF 2009)
It is an official presidential proclamation (issued by authority of the President through the Executive Secretary) that declares Friday, 22 November 2019, as a special (non-working) day in the Province of Benguet to give the people full opportunity to celebrate the province’s founding anniversary.
Friday, 22 November 2019, applicable specifically in the Province of Benguet.
Because 23 November 2019 falls on a Saturday, and the proclamation declares 22 November 2019 in lieu of it so the people can celebrate and participate in appropriate ceremonies.
It is linked to the Province of Benguet marking its 119th Founding Anniversary, which is on 23 November 2019.
The Office of the Governor of Benguet requested that Friday, 22 November 2019 be declared a special (non-working) day in lieu of 23 November 2019.
It indicates that the President authorized the Executive Secretary to issue/sign the proclamation, meaning the act is considered official presidential action through the authorized representative.
It means the special non-working day is shifted from the actual anniversary date (23 November) to another date (22 November) because of scheduling (the original date falls on a Saturday).
No. The text limits the effect to the “Province of Benguet,” meaning the non-working day is local in scope.
It implies that the day is treated as a non-working day for observance/participation in local celebrations, though actual effects on private employment depend on applicable labor rules and exemptions.
It provides the rationale for the issuance: to ensure public participation in the provincial celebration by granting a day off.
They are preambular facts and justifications—background reasons—supporting the issuance of the proclamation, such as the anniversary date, request from the governor, and fittingness of giving the public an opportunity to celebrate.
It suggests that the local chief executive (Governor) requests the special non-working day, and then the national executive branch issues the proclamation by authority of the President.
Publication in the Official Gazette is strong evidence of official enactment and the existence/effectivity of the proclamation as a public document.
