WHEREAS, the expansion of the Government’s development program demands increased national revenues;

WHEREAS, the national revenues can be increased only by popular endorsement and support of tax measures by tax-conscious citizens; and

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Ramon Magsaysay, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby proclaim the first week of January, 1956, as Tax Information Week, and hereby authorize the League of Women Voters to intensify the tax-education drive for the period from January to March, 1956.

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 29th day of November, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-five, and of the Independence of the Philippines, the tenth.
