PROCLAMATION NO. 222

: The consolidation aimed to avoid confusion in the public mind and to secure the support and cooperation of the parties concerned only once, since both celebrations have almost identical objectives.

: Philippine Industry Week was originally observed during the last week of February every year under Proclamation No. 369 dated February 13, 1953, as amended by Proclamation No. 100 dated December 15, 1954.
: It promotes national pride and encourages support for Philippine industries and products made in the country to stimulate economic growth and local industry development.
: No, the proclamation serves to declare a designated observance week and does not provide for penalties or sanctions for non-compliance.
: The proclamation is intended for the public, government agencies, industries, and all concerned parties to support and participate in the observance of the designated week.
