QuestionsQuestions (PROCLAMATION NO. 830)
It declares Friday, September 2, 2005 as a special (non-working) day specifically in the Province of Albay, thereby guiding local observance and the general rule on non-working status for that date within the province, subject to usual exceptions provided by law and rules on holidays.
It indicates that the Executive Secretary acted as the authorized representative of the President, and the proclamation carries the President’s authority.
The proclamation states that Sept. 2, 2005 marks the birth anniversary of the late General Simeon A. Ola, the last revolutionary general to surrender at the end of the Philippine-American War.
It provides the justification for the government action—ensuring the public in Albay can observe the event through appropriate ceremonies.
Friday, September 2, 2005.
It is limited to the Province of Albay only, as stated in “in the province of Albay.”
The proclamation explicitly labels it “special (non-working) day,” meaning workers in Albay are generally not required to work on that date, though labor impact can still depend on existing labor rules and exemptions for certain industries or services.
It contains: the proclamation number, date of issuance (April 20, 2005), declaratory clause, the executive secretary and authorization statement, witness/signature block, place of issuance (City of Manila), and date. These elements establish authenticity, authority, and the timeline of issuance/effect.
It is a formal requirement indicating the proclamation is officially executed and sealed by the proper authority, enhancing its authenticity and official character.
It records when and where the proclamation was formally executed, which is relevant for determining the document’s validity and the date it was issued.
Such signature blocks indicate administrative/processing confirmation and official action in the Executive Secretary’s office, typically reflecting the internal signing/attestation process for official proclamations.
It signals the transition from the statement of reasons (“WHEREAS” clauses) to the operative legal declaration (“do hereby declare”).
The clauses that explain historical significance and the need for the people to have full opportunity to celebrate—particularly that Sept. 2 marks the birth anniversary of General Simeon A. Ola and that it is fitting to allow appropriate ceremonies—support the declaration as special (non-working).
It is a special local holiday proclamation (special non-working day) limited to a province, not a national holiday—based on “SPECIAL (NON-WORKING) DAY” and “in the Province of Albay.”
