Creation of Caliraya Development Commission

The creation is grounded on the need to expand and develop existing and potential tourist spots.
The order links development of the Caliraya watershed to an international commitment involving the Japanese Memorial Shrine and Garden, to symbolize amity and friendship between the Philippines and Japan.
The order directs that the Caliraya watershed—including the Japanese Shrine—be developed and beautified to fulfill assurances given to Japan through its leadership.
The order treats Caliraya watershed as a key power source requiring protected development because it is already a reserve watershed under Executive Order No. 33 dated July 26, 1904.
The order aims to rapidly develop the area and transform it into a tourist attraction while maintaining watershed protection.

A Caliraya Development Commission is created to carry out the objectives stated in the order.
The Commission is composed of the following officials and members:
- Mrs. Imelda R. Marcos as Honorary Chairman.
