NOW, THEREFORE, I, Ramon Magsaysay, President of the Philippines, do hereby declare the period from February 14 to March 31, 1954, as the time for the Seventh Annual Fund Campaign of the Philippine National Red Cross, and I call upon all citizens and residents of this country, regardless of nationality or creed, as well as upon all public-spirited organizations and associations to support this campaign and to give generously of their means, time and personal services in furtherance of the aims and purposes of the Philippine National Red Cross.

I authorize all national, provincial, city and municipal government officials and school authorities to accept, for the Philippines National Red Cross, fund-raising responsibilities and urge them to take active leadership in their respective communities.

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 16th day of January, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-four, and of the Independence of the Philippines, the eighth.
