[ Proclamation No. 1020, May 29, 1972 ]

FURTHER EXTENDING THE NATIONAL EDUCATION AND FUND CAMPAIGN OF THE PANAMIN FOUNDATION, INC., UNTIL FEBRUARY 28, 1973

WHEREAS, the PANAMIN Foundation, Inc., was authorized under Proclamation No. 517 dated February 11, 1969, to conduct a national education and fund campaign from March 1, 1969, to February 28, 1970, and extended under Proclamation No. 807, dated February 2, 1971, for the purpose of raising much-needed funds with which to carry on its various humanitarian projects for the benefit of our national minorities, who comprise more than twelve per cent of our national population;

WHEREAS, the pre-election ban on fund solicitation in 1971 interrupted the progress of the fund campaign and prevented PANAMIN from realizing its fund goal; and

WHEREAS, to enable PANAMIN to carry on its laudable activities, it is necessary that its fund campaign be extended for another year;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, ALEJANDRO MELCHOR, Executive Secretary, by order of His Excellency, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines, do hereby further extend the national education and fund drive of the PANAMIN Foundation, Inc., until February 28, 1973. I call upon all residents of the Philippines, irrespective of nationality, race or creed, to assist in this humanitarian endeavor by giving generously of their means. I further authorize the PANAMIN Foundation, Inc., to expand its campaign to foreign countries to enable the civic-spirited elements among our foreign friends to participate in this noble mission.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be affixed.1aшphi1

Done in the City of Manila, this 29th day of May, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and seventy-two.
