Proclamation No. 560 declares Tuesday, 18 June 2024 as a special (non-working) day in the Municipality of Presentacion, Province of Camarines Sur. It is a proclamation issued by authority of the President to create a local special non-working day for public observance.
Tuesday, 18 June 2024.
It applies only to the Municipality of Presentacion, Province of Camarines Sur.
To allow the people of Presentacion to participate in and enjoy the celebration of the municipality’s 63rd Charter Anniversary on 18 June 2024.
For the affected locality, 18 June 2024 becomes a non-working day, meaning employees generally should not be required to work unless work is authorized/allowed under applicable labor rules and conditions for special non-working days.
Local in character, limited to the Municipality of Presentacion, Camarines Sur.
Although signed by the Executive Secretary, the proclamation expressly states it is 'by authority of the President,' indicating presidential delegation/authority for issuance of proclamations.
The proclamation includes the 'WHEREAS' clauses, the 'NOW, THEREFORE' operative declaration, the signature block with date and place of issuance (City of Manila, 27 May 2024), the seal statement, and 'By authority of the President' with the Executive Secretary’s signature.
They provide the context and purpose—here, the charter anniversary—helping interpret the scope and intent of the operative clause declaring the day as non-working.
A special non-working day is legally recognized as a day when work is generally not required/expected, and labor protections/compensation rules may apply if work is performed.
The 'WHEREAS' clauses explain reasons; the 'NOW, THEREFORE' part contains the operative act—declaring the specific date as special (non-working) day.
Presidential power to issue proclamations for public purposes, including the declaration of special days/holidays/non-working days, typically rooted in constitutional authority and implemented through relevant statutes and administrative rules (as applicable to holiday/non-working day declarations).
