Preamble
WHEREAS, there were pending before Congress prior to the promulgation of Proclamation No. 1081, dated September 21, 1972, certain measures vital to the health and economic conditions of the people; WHEREAS, one of these measures is a bill entitled "An Act Philippines"; and WHEREAS, this measure will greatly help in reducing to the minimum the incidence of malaria, if not totally eradicate it, thereby removing one of the deterrents to our economic endeavors; NOW, THEREFORE, I, FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines by virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution as Commander-in-Chief of all the Armed Forces of the Philippines, and pursuant to Proclamation No. 1081, dated September 21, 1972, and General Order No. 1, dated September 22, 1972, as amended, and in order to overcome serious setbacks in malaria eradication campaigns on account of the refusal of houseowners to cooperate in this campaign, do hereby decree that H.B. No. 15077, entitled "An Act Insuring the Successful Operation of Malaria Eradication Campaigns in the Philippines," as herein incorporated, is hereby adopted and approved, and made part of the law of the land.
