Proclamation No. 268

DECLARING SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1938, A SPECIAL PUBLIC HOLIDAY

A petition has been received from and on behalf of the associated banks in Manila, requesting that the sixteenth day of April, nineteen hundred and thrity-eight, be declared an official holiday. The banking houses have agreed that negotiable papers which would fall due on the sixteenth day of April, nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, if the same were not a holiday, shall be protested until the sunset of the following Monday, April eighteenth, nineteen hundred and thirty-eight.

It appearing to the Chief Executive that, inasmuch as the fourteenth and fifteenth days of April, nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, are public holidays, the said sixteenth day of April, nineteen hundred and thrity-eight, can be declared a special public holiday to the great advantage of the banking houses and no disadvantage will result to the public in general;

Now, therefore, I, Manuel L. Quezon, President of the Philippines, by virtue of the authority in me vested by section thirty of the Revised Administrative Code, and there being in my judgment sufficient reasons therefor, do hereby proclaim Saturday, April sixteenth, nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, as a special public holiday.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Commonwealth of the Philippines to be affixed.

Done at the City of Manila, this seventh day of April, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-eight, and of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, the third.
