forgotten God. We have forgotten that gracious hand which preserves us, mult iplies and strengthens us;

produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our o wn. Let us humb le ourselves before God who
has made us, to confess our national sins, to pray for clemency and forgiveness, and to profess our faith
in the words of the Holy Scriptures:

NOW, THEREFORE, I, FIDEL V. RAMOS, President of the Republic of the Philippines, ever
mindful of the Almighty’s grand design in our People Power Revolution, and in our daily affairs, do
hereby designate the Twenty-Fifth day of February effect ive this year and every year thereafter as the
National Ecumenical Day of Prayer and Reconciliation.
And I do hereby imp lore all our People to abstain on that day fro m their secular pursuits, and to
congregate, at their places of worship or their respective homes, in keep ing the day holy to the Lord,
there to render such homage and confessions, and to offer to Him such supplications for the attain ment
of true and lasting harmony for all.
All this being done, in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope professed by the Divine
teachings, that the united voice of the nation shall be heard on high, and answered with God’s blessings
and pardon of our sins, and that He shall bestow upon our country His everlasting gifts of peace and
unity.
IN TES TIMONY WHER EOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Republic o f

DECLARING THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER OF EVERY YEAR AS CLEAN AIR MONTH
THROUGH NATIONAL VEHICLE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE CONSCIOUSNESS
WHEREAS , the pollution of the air in rap idly u rbanizing areas, part icularly in Metro Manila, the
home of about 9.5 million people as of 1995 estimates, has reached levels that adversely affect human
health and public welfare and calls for more aggressive efforts to reduce emissions in the air;
WHEREAS , air pollution is caused by increased emissions of carbon mono xide, volat ile organic
compounds, oxides of nitrogen and sulfur and particulate matter fro m sources that burn fuels for
energy;
WHEREAS , motor vehicles which were estimated to have produced almost 65 million met ric tons of
pollutants in 1993, account for the majority of total airborne pollutants in Metro Manila;
WHEREAS , the almost 2.6 million motor vehicles nationwide, 43% of which are in Metro Manila,
continue to grow in number at about 8% per year, threatening to consume more fuel and to emit more
toxic gases into the atmosphere;
WHEREAS , although technological advances in engine design, pollution devices and fuels have
continued to develop, the motorist’s neglect of his vehicle’s maintenance remains a major contributor
to the rise in vehicle emission;
WHEREAS , engine malfunctions that contribute to excessive pollution can be corrected often with
simple maintenance, resulting in substantial emission reduction and fuel savings;
WHEREAS , there is a need to create awareness among the motoring public regarding the importance
and benefits of vehicle maintenance;
vested in me by law, do hereby declare the month of November of every year as “Clean A ir Month
Through National Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance Consciousness”. In connection therewith, I
hereby allocate the amount of TWO MILLION PESOS (P2,000,000.00) annually fro m the Social Fund
of the Office of the President for the planning and imp lementation of a nationwide awareness program
