I call upon all residents, firms, and organizations in Manila and suburbs, to support this campaign and to give generously to the Community Chest of Greater Manila which unites eighteen campaigns in one annual appeal.

I authorize all government officials and employees, including school authorities and teachers, to accept, for the Community Chest of Greater Manila, fund-raising responsibilities and to give it active support and leadership in their communities.

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