[ PROCLAMATION NO. 451, August 31, 2003 ]

RENAMING THE FAMILY DINING ROOM, MALACAÑANG PALACE, IN HONOR OF PRESIDENT RAMON MAGSAYSAY



WHEREAS, Resolution No. 2 dated May 6, 1998 by the National Historical Institute and Presidential Decree No. 260 dated August 1, 1973, declared Malacañang Palace a National Historical Landmark;

WHEREAS, every past administration in the country reflects a particular period in our nation's rich history; and

WHEREAS, it is only fitting and proper that Malacañang Palace, residence and office of the President of the Philippines should recognize the historic connection past presidents have with Malacañang Palace.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO, President of Philippines, by virtue of the authority vested in me by law, do hereby rename the Family Dining Room, Maiacañang Palace, favored by President Ramon Magsaysay as a location for his cabinet meetings during his presidency, and shall henceforth be known as the Magsaysay Room, in recognition of the past service to the nation of President Magsaysay and the historic value of the room in which he conducted many affairs of state, thereby serving as a tangible reminder of President Ramon Magsaysay's administration.

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

Done in the City of Manila, this 31st day of August, in the year of Our Lord, Two Thousand and Three.

(Sgd.) GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO

By the President:
