Q&A (PROCLAMATION NO. 51)

The main purpose of Proclamation No. 51 is to extend the period for the Sixth Annual Fund Campaign of the Community Chest of Greater Manila up to and including July 31, 1954.

The legal authority cited is the powers vested in the President of the Philippines by law, allowing him to extend the campaign period.

The focus organization is the Community Chest of Greater Manila.

The original designated period was from June 1 to June 15, 1954, under Proclamation No. 26 dated May 11, 1954.

The extension was needed because the Community Chest of Greater Manila required additional time to carry out its campaign successfully.

This phrase signifies that the President is exercising his lawful authority granted by existing laws to make the extension official.

Proclamation No. 51 was signed on July 28, 1954.

The proclamation was formalized by affixing the seal of the Republic of the Philippines.

Fred Ruiz Castro attested the proclamation as the Executive Secretary.
