Declaring the Last Week of November of Every Year as "Direct Selling Week"
Proclamation No. 320, issued on September 29, 2017, by President Rodrigo Duterte, officially designates the last week of November each year as "Direct Selling Week" in the Philippines. This amendment updates Proclamation No. 163 (1999), which previously recognized the last week of August for the same purpose. The change reflects the Direct Selling Association of the Philippines' (DSAP) scheduling of major industry events and programs in November. The proclamation aims to promote and celebrate the direct selling industry within the country.
